Covata Platform to Secure Data Wherever It Resides

Covata USA, Inc. announced the availability of the Covata Platform, providing organizations a solution to secure data wherever it resides – beyond the domain, on mobile devices and in the cloud.

The platform ends the reliance on the security of the device, network, storage, or application, enabling organizations to conduct business with the confidence that the data is protected and in their control.

“Business is increasingly being conducted over untrusted networks and devices, and organizations must takes steps to protect their data accordingly,” said Charles Archer, executive chairman and CEO, Covata. “At Covata, we call this Own Your Data – combining protection, control and visibility so businesses can share data with confidence. This release of the Covata Platform delivers to this promise, providing organizations a flexible and extensible platform to fully realize the benefits of critical initiatives such as the cloud and mobility.“

A solution for data security and governance, it combines data level encryption, granular and persistent data access rights management, and visibility into access activity of the protected data. It functions independent of network, device, storage provider, cloud provider or application, providing business a single point of data protection and removing the costs and operational burden of supporting multiple encryption solutions. It encrypts data at the origination point, eliminating the gaps inherent to functional encryption solutions, assuring that the data is protected even when business is conducted on untrusted networks and devices.

It is designed to handle all of the functions associated with encryption, management and security management at enterprise speed, scale and resiliency. The services-based approach makes it possible to integrate the service into new and existing workflows, as well as integrate it with other solutions in the security ecosystem. The SDK exposes the power of the platform via RESTful APIs and client libraries (C#, iOS Objective -C and Java). It empowers businesses, services providers and partners to build applications and services beyond the domain, into the cloud and onto mobile devices with the assurance that the data is protected however it travels and wherever it rests.

The company offers clients solutions such as Safe Share to leverage the capabilities of the platform. Safe Share provides users an interface to secure and control data on services such as Box, Dropbox and OneDrive, and provides a protection solution across multiple storage providers. Businesses can also leverage Safe Share as a corporate Dropbox function using cloud storage providers such as AWS S3, Azure and Basho Riak CS, enabling file sharing while maximizing control of enterprise data.
