Decrypt's open architecture allows for quick integration with other applications, making it adaptable to various needs. Vannevar Labs operates on a subscription-based model, charging clients for access to Decrypt, which ensures a steady revenue stream. The company's goal is to leverage technology to improve national security and maintain its reputation as a trusted provider in the defense sector.
