Hitachi Takes Broad License With Cryptsoft

For encryption key management

Cryptsoft Pty Ltd welcomes Hitachi, Ltd. as an enterprise customer enabling Hitachi to deploy the latest version of its standards-based KMIP (Key Management interoperability Protocol) across the entire range of Hitachi storage products.

Adopting Cryptsoft’s OEM key management technology will allow Hitachi to bolster its existing KMIP capability and enable it to keep pace with the latest developments in the KMIP standard while bringing their solutions to market sooner, with minimal engineering cost and overhead.

It was a natural choice to select Cryptsoft to help us provide the increased capability offered in the latest KMIP versions to meet customers’ increasing key management requirements,” said Nobuyuki Osaki, director, storage element management development dept., IT platform products management division, Hitachi.

With the number of breaches been reported on the rise, it is increasingly important that any data store in an enterprise be stored in an encrypted form. Enterprises are now realising that without modern and robust enterprise key management technology like KMIP, it is easier for bad actors to steal an encryption key than it is for them to crack the encryption. The reality is that strong encryption without commensurate key management offers little to no value to the enterprise,” said Tony Cox, VP partners, alliances and standards, Cryptsoft. “As a fellow supporter of the KMIP protocol from its early days, we look forward to cementing a new relationship with Hitachi and deployment of best of breed data and encryption management solutions.
