The solution can be configured so that every encryption operation contains one or more public keys, ensuring that the organization never loses access to its own data. When auditors, IT personnel, or DLP scanners need to review encrypted data, Smartcrypt’s policy keys provide reliable access. Smartcrypt’s Data Security Intelligence feature provides complete visibility into which files are encrypted, which users have accessed them, and where the events took place. The web-based administration console includes granular controls for configuration, policy, and approval management. The Smartcrypt Manager console provides centralized key and policy management. The Smartcrypt Manager: Enterprise Control and Visibility
The application automatically creates, synchronizes, and exchanges encryption keys, ensuring that only authorized parties can access protected data. Once data is encrypted with the Smartcrypt application, the protection stays with the data everywhere it is used, shared, or stored. Smartcrypt also features Smartkeys, an embedded key management solution that simplifies and automates the most challenging aspects of key management. Persistent Protection and Remarkable Ease of Useįeaturing a variety of platform-specific user interfaces, the application supports a wide variety of encryption systems, key types, and key interfaces. The robust security solution offers both data and field level protection that can be added right into workflows, repeatable processes and applications with minimal effort, and also used independently, as needed.
#PKWARE DATA AT REST SOFTWARE#
It also includes a Software Development Kit (SDK) that is available in every major programming language. The Smartcrypt Platform consists of an end-user application and a web-based manager console. Smartcrypt targets protecting the core of an organization’s asset: its data. The Smartcrypt solution combines the strength and reliability of PKI-based encryption with the ease and simplicity of passphrase-based security utilizing quantum key generation technology. PKWARE’s Smartcrypt is a revolution in enterprise data centric security management enabling companies to maintain complete control over their protected data. The shift toward mobile technology and cloud-based services has slowed PKI’s already low rate of adoption. PKI, provides stronger protection, but presents serious challenges in usability and key management. Passphrases, the more common approach, are difficult to create, store, and exchange in a way that maintains the security of the protected data.
Until now, organizations have had to choose between two approaches when implementing data-level protection: passphrases or public-key infrastructure (PKI). True information security requires persistent data-level protection, so that information remains inaccessible even after a security breach. Security managers around the globe are facing the unavoidable truth that network and device protection are not enough. When data breaches do occur, the information exposure, financial impact and PR damage can take years to repair.
Internal controls become more complicated and challenging to implement. External security threats grow more sophisticated and unpredictable. Editor’s note: in this post, Cognitio’s Marty Meehan provides context on an economical, scalable and highly secure defense in depth solution leveraging PKWARE’s Smartcrypt and QuintessenceLabs.
