Vaultive Unveils Data Privacy Option

Data security has been the primary
inhibitor preventing enterprises from adopting cloud solutions.

At-source encryption together with
de-dupe from Vaultize
(Anoosmar Technologies Private Limited) helps eliminate concerns
about security. Vaultize’s
technology secures data by encrypting it before it leaves endpoints
for backup or sharing.

The company unveiled a Data Privacy
Option (DPO) for enterprises – helping them comply with data privacy,
data residency and data protection regulations – strengthening cloud
adoption. DPO is a concept through which Vaultize lets its enterprise
customers retain the control over encryption keys. 

With DPO, the encryption keys are not
stored on infrastructure that is not under enterprise control –
ensuring that the customer is in control of privacy of data and
ownership of data is retained by the customer. The data is thus
secured from any unauthorized access while in motion and at rest in
the cloud, and the ability to access usable data remains with the
enterprise customer as it only has the encryption keys. This way the
customers can comply with privacy and residency requirements by
virtue of keeping the encryption keys within jurisdiction regardless
of the actual physical location of the backup and sharing data.

"Cloud service providers often
store customer data across various geographical locations to ensure
resiliency, scalability and efficiency. But regulations put
restrictions in terms of where and how to keep data that is sensitive
in nature" said Ankur Panchbudhe, CTO and co-founder of
Vaultize. "DPO option lets our customers take the full
control of the encryption keys. Our at-source encryption technology
ensures that the data, while in motion and at rest, is secured from
any unauthorized access. Moreover, to achieve this Vaultize does not
require any special software or any hardware on-premise."

It is available with all the deployment
options of Vaultize public cloud (hosted in Rackspace), private cloud
(hosted on-premise or with any cloud provider of customer’s
choice), and ‘Cloud-in-a box’
appliance.
