Comprehensive offering defends data wherever it’s collected, stored and transmitted; Eases path to PCI and other regulatory compliance, and supports service-oriented architectures
February 8, 2007 (Press Release) --
San Francisco, California—February 6, 2007— RSA Conference 2007— At a time when businesses and their customers have zero tolerance for data breaches, Voltage Security, Inc. (www.voltage.com), a global leader in enterprise privacy management, today introduced the Voltage Data Protection System™, a powerful and comprehensive solution to persistently protect sensitive data at all times throughout the network. This offering addresses a critical need for enterprises to ensure sensitive data is encrypted as it is collected, transmitted and stored throughout its processing lifecycle. With the Voltage Data Protection System, enterprises for the first time have the ability to implement comprehensive application level encryption for data as it flows through servers, databases and storage, regardless of infrastructure or application format requirements.
“To avoid brand damage and maintain compliance, today’s enterprise requires a new data security model,” said Stephen Katz, CISSP and former chief information security officer of Citigroup. “Encryption must shift from point solutions to a centrally managed, comprehensive solution that can enforce encryption policy for the data itself. The Voltage Data Protection System delivers a comprehensive, centrally managed, effective and efficient solution.”
The need for comprehensive encryption capability cannot be denied. Over 440 companies have reported security breaches of over 100 million records containing personally identifiable information (PII) in the past two years ; the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard mandates stringent key management and encryption requirements for merchants; and privacy legislation such as HIPAA and GLBA require organizations to protect sensitive customer and patient data.
To solve these difficult challenges, enterprises require the ability to control, manage and protect data across the enterprise, including:
• The ability to move from fragmented point solutions to a data-centric security model, enforcing protection policy directly on the data itself
• Centralized encryption policy management and reporting to ensure strong program management and audit
• Minimized integration cost and lowered complexity through encryption that meets the application environment, rather than re-engineering the application or adding extensive infrastructure
• Comprehensive coverage for all points within the data processing lifecycle
Existing application-level solutions can only address a portion of this problem. Until the introduction of the Voltage Data Protection System, enterprises were forced to choose between implementing partial encryption, extensively re-engineering applications to meet format requirements, or addressing format requirements through additional look aside databases which increase management costs, require connectivity and create backup and archiving complexities.
“The Voltage Data Protection System is an important and natural expansion of Voltage Security
