Bitglass and Thales KeySecure - Solution Brief

Cloud service adoption gives rise to new cybersecurity concerns in the enterprise. Organizations using the cloud are entrusting their data to someone else’s data center. Regardless of any service agreement, it is the organization using the cloud service that remains responsible for protection of their data, regardless of where it is stored. While some cloud services offer encryption and key management functionality to mitigate these concerns, many find this functionality to be insufficient. As encryption keys are stored with the same provider holding the encrypted data, questions persist over data security and ownership, making demonstrating regulatory compliance difficult. Additionally, per application encryption does not extend beyond the boundary of that application to other “connected” applications. Fortunately, the Bitglass and Thales joint solution addresses these security and compliance concerns, providing the flexibility and the benefits that hosting data in the public cloud has to offer with the security and control of a premises data center.
