Hedvig Selects Cryptsoft

Cryptsoft Pty Ltd has extended the use of standards conformant enterprise key management into the “software-defined everything” market with its latest customer, Hedvig Inc.

Hedvig has recognized and acted upon customer demand for software-defined solutions that leverage OASIS KMIP (Key Management Interoperability Protocol) to provide lifecycle management of data encryption keys and related certificates.

Implementing KMIP enables Hedvig to offer all of their customers and prospects an interoperable, unified security object management solution across all platform types including traditional on-prem, cloud, virtualization, containerization, backup, and archive solutions.

Selecting Cryptsoft’s OEM key management solutions has enabled Hedvig to meet specific customer demand in a very short time-frame while also plugging their solution into a large and rapidly growing ecosystem of hardware and software defined infrastructure products that are using KMIP to provide modern, interoperable, and standards based security to the market.

“With more customers demanding full KMIP conformance across a wide range of use cases, selecting Cryptsoft to help us add KMIP capability to the Hedvig Distributed Storage Platform was an easy choice given their market knowledge, the ease of integration and the fact that we get immediate validation with the majority of the KMIP Key Management Servers by virtue of the fact that the majority of them are also Cryptsoft customers,” said Avinash Lakshman, CEO and founder, Hedvig.

“Making infrastructure more flexible through the greater use of cloud and software defined solutions, fantastic for the customer, but does raise the spectre of how to provide commensurate security for the customer’s data assets. KMIP answers this question by providing standards-based solutions that secure the customer’s data assets while supporting the infrastructure flexibility and agility the customers value so highly,” said Tony Cox, VP partners, alliances and standards, Cryptsoft. “It’s always reassuring to work closely with leading companies such as Hedvig who do not shy away from the security challenges their customers face, but instead are po-active and deal with these challenges head-on by delivering industry standard solutions using Cryptsoft’s KMIP technology. We look forward to working closely with the team at Hedvig.“
