Every day, developers paste proprietary algorithms, API keys, and customer data into AI assistants. It's not malice—it's momentum. And current solutions make the problem worse.
AI coding assistants are incredible. They make developers 2-3x more productive. They're not optional anymore—they're table stakes.
But every prompt is a potential leak. Every "help me debug this" might include your authentication logic. Every "convert this to TypeScript" might contain customer PII. Every "explain this code" might expose your competitive advantage.
The average developer sends 50+ prompts per day. That's 50 opportunities for sensitive data to leave your network.
"We found AWS keys in 4% of prompts, database credentials in 2%, and customer data in 11%. This was a Fortune 500 company with a dedicated security team."

The security industry's answer? Cloud-based DLP. Send your data to a third party who scans it before forwarding to the AI provider.
Think about that for a second.
To protect your sensitive data from being sent to one cloud... you send it to another cloud first.
You're not reducing risk. You're doubling it. Now two companies have your secrets instead of one. And you're paying for the privilege.
Your unredacted data now exists in two places you don't control.
We built Tenlines on a simple principle: your sensitive data should never leave your machine unprotected. Not to us. Not to anyone.
This isn't a feature. It's a constraint we designed around.
All scrubbing happens locally. Your prompts, your code, your secrets—they never touch our servers. We couldn't access them even if we wanted to.
There's no Tenlines database to hack. No API logs to subpoena. No "anonymized" data to de-anonymize. The attack surface is zero.
Define what's sensitive. Register your proprietary code. Set your thresholds. The protection runs by your rules, on your hardware.
Every redaction is logged locally. Audit what was caught, what was sent. Full transparency because you're the only one watching.
When sensitive data needs to be protected, there's only one place that protection can happen: at the source. Before the network. Before the HTTP request. Before anything leaves your machine.
This is what Tenlines does. A lightweight daemon that intercepts AI requests, scrubs them locally, and forwards only what's safe. Your workflow doesn't change. Your productivity doesn't suffer. You just stop leaking.
Security that happens after data leaves your network isn't security. It's damage control.
We believe the next generation of security tools won't ask for your data. They'll protect it without ever seeing it.
That's what we're building.
Stop sending your sensitive data to clouds you don't control. Start protecting it where it lives.
