# Prompt Security: The Conversation Nobody's Having

Your prompts contain business logic and competitive advantage. They're stored in plaintext by vendors who can read them. Nobody's talking about this.

When you use most prompt management tools, you send prompts to their servers in plaintext. Vendor employees can access them. Breaches would expose them. Terms of service might allow usage for product improvement.

For sensitive prompts: zero-knowledge architecture. Your content is encrypted before transmission. The vendor literally cannot read it.

Start the conversation now. Before the breach news story makes everyone pay attention.
