Find and classify sensitive data in Google Cloud and beyond

Compatible with Google Cloud direct-attached and network storage resources accessible to Windows and Linux servers in Google IaaS environments, CipherTrust Data Discovery and Classification locates regulated data across unstructured and structured data stores, with a streamlined workflow that helps eliminate security blind spots. The product offers a quick start with built-in discovery and classification templates with the flexibility you need to create new policies. Detailed reports can demonstrate compliance with internal rules as well as external regulations and laws. The solution enables smart decisions on what data to protect with advanced encryption.

Advanced encryption for Google Cloud and beyond

If you’re 100% Google Cloud based with stringent data security controls, or if you’re running hybrid clouds with data distributed across your on-premises private cloud, multiple cloud providers, and in Google Cloud, you need an advanced data encryption solution.

CipherTrust Transparent Encryption protects your files, databases or applications like SAP HANA deployed anywhere, including Google Cloud, without any changes to applications, databases, infrastructure or business practices. Bring your own encryption (BYOE) to Google Cloud and other infrastructure as a service providers! While Google Cloud encrypts data by default, the vast majority of threats to data occur due to compromises in the operating system, applications, or users. Google Cloud serves disk-encrypted data to operating systems in the clear. BYOE operates higher in the stack – in the operating system or at the application layer, protecting data from server or user-based threats.

CipherTrust Transparent Encryption:

• Strengthens data security with controls against unauthorized access based on granular access policies, including user identity (including for administrators with root privileges), and process, among many others
• Accelerates breach detection and meets compliance mandates with detailed file access logs directed to your security information and event management (SIEM) system
• Delivers a fast return on investment with a non-intrusive, flexible implementation. Encryption agents operate on Google Compute Engine or any other server accessing storage, protect Google Cloud Storage, and are available for many Windows versions and Linux distributions

If you are architecting your applications as cloud native, you might not have servers on which to run Transparent Encryption. Thales can help secure your data in cloud native applications:

CipherTrust Tokenization with Dynamic Data Masking integrates with cloud-native apps using RESTful calls. Tokenization secures and anonymize sensitive assets in the data center, big data environments or the cloud for simplified PCI-DSS compliance. Format-preserving or random tokenization protects sensitive fields while maintaining database structure, for a non-disruptive implementation. Then, it’s easy to add policy-based dynamic data masking to applications. The Tokenization Server is available to run in Google Cloud; contact us for that. And you can cluster an on-premises Tokenization Server with one in Google Cloud for the highest performance.

CipherTrust Application Data Protection offers simple-to-use, powerful software tools for application-level key management and encryption of sensitive data. The solution is flexible enough to encrypt nearly any type of data passing through an application. Application-layer data protection can provide the highest level of security, as it can take place immediately upon data creation or first processing and can remain encrypted regardless of its data life cycle state – during transfer, use, backup or copy.

Google Cloud Platform offers three mechanisms that allow you to own encryption key material and use it in Google Cloud Platform: Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK), External Key Manager (EKM) and Customer-Supplied Encryption Keys (CSEK). Across all these mechanisms, Thales offers solutions to enhance encryption key control and data security in Google Cloud Platform.

CipherTrust Cloud Key Manager, a multicloud encryption key life cycle management offering from Thales, supports CMEK for Google Cloud Platform, in addition to various Hold Your Own Key (HYOK) and Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) mechanisms across Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, IBM Cloud and Salesforce.com

The CipherTrust Key Broker service on Data Protection on Demand integrates with Google Cloud External Key Manager (EKM). The solution enables you to:

• Securely create and control encryption keys separate from where the sensitive data is being hosted
• Verify the origin and quality of the keys being brought to the cloud
• Maintain master keys outside of the Google Cloud environment in a Thales FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified root-of-trust

The key broker service is available in the Google Cloud Marketplace North America and European Union instances.

In support of the Google Cloud Customer-Supplied Encryption Key (CSEK) service, a “Bring Your Own Key” (BYOK) application is available for CipherTrust Application Data Protection and integrates with Google Cloud CSEK to enable customers to supply their own keys for certain Google Cloud Storage products and Google Compute Engine encryption. The CSEK service enables customers to protect the actual encryption keys that are used to encrypt and decrypt their data.

Thales solutions based upon high assurance Luna HSMs and Luna Cloud HSMs (Data Protection on Demand) can help secure and protect your data in Google Cloud. Luna HSMs are FIPS 140-2 Level 3-validated, offering high assurance encryption key and digital identity protection -- ultimately helping you to meet compliance and audit needs and following the security best practice of keeping your keys separate from your data. With Luna HSMs you have the flexibility to leverage Google Cloud services, the ability to both own and control your encryption keys and reduce the risk of unauthorized data access. Luna HSMs support Google Customer-Supplied Encryption Keys (CSEK) and the new Google Cloud EKM service.

For both encryption key quality, ownership and convenience, Thales Data Protection on Demand (DPoD) provides a wide range of Cloud HSM and key management services through a simple online marketplace.

• Luna Cloud HSM – With Luna Cloud-based HSM services, you can store and manage cryptographic keys, establish a common root of trust across all applications and services, while retaining complete control of your keys at all times.
