SafeNet announced key enhancements to SafeNet ProtectV that allow
customers to encrypt Amazon EC2 workloads and maintain full ownership
of encryption keys, with no need for on-premise hardware. SafeNet
ProtectV with Virtual KeySecure is now available to run entirely on
Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure and is compatible with AWS
CloudHSM, allowing customers to retain full ownership of their
encryption keys while deploying entirely in the cloud. Through
the AWS Marketplace, SafeNet ProtectV and Virtual KeySecure are
available in a pay-as-you-go pricing model similar to AWS cloud
services.
SafeNet’s encryption and key management solutions further enable
AWS customers to move their most sensitive data and applications into
the cloud while maintaining high levels of data protection. Combining
the flexibility of the AWS cloud and strength of SafeNet’s
encryption offerings creates a convenient solution for customers to
optimize the level of security required for even the most critical
workloads.
“Security is top of mind for organizations migrating sensitive
data to the cloud,” said Wendy Nather, research director,
Enterprise Security Practice, 451 Research. “Part of the problem is
orchestrating security policies and key management across different
environments. However, as companies like SafeNet make their offerings
available both on premise and for cloud platforms such as AWS,
enterprises can feel more confident that they are creating the same
level of security across the board.”
