Thales Enhances Vormetric Data Protection Platform Scalability and Cloud Readiness with Thales Orchestrator

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vormetric, a Thales company, and a leader in enterprise data protection for physical, virtual, big data, and cloud environments, today announced Thales Orchestrator. Thales Orchestrator reduces the cost of protecting data at rest across organizations, enabling enterprises and cloud service providers to easily scale their use of encryption within their data center, public, private and hybrid cloud environments with orchestration for the Vormetric Data Security Platform of products.

The Vormetric Data Security Platform from Thales already integrates into offerings of more than 40 leading cloud services, and into the operations of more than 1,500 enterprises, worldwide. With the release of Thales Orchestrator, Thales extends the reach of the platform to meet the emerging needs of enterprise customers for integrated, fast, DevSecOps ready data security deployment and management across public, private and hybrid cloud environments.  For cloud service providers, the solution not only accelerates operations, but enables decreased time from order to revenue.

Thales Orchestrator is the latest in an impressive set of recent innovations that extend Thales' leadership in data protection by eliminating barriers to the use of encryption solutions, and reducing the risk of adopting new technologies that help to drive growth and innovation:

• Live Data Transformation. A patented solution that allows enterprises to deploy encryption and rotate encryption keys without having to take critical applications offline.
• Key Management as a Service. A cloud-based service that simplifies the management of Salesforce Platform Encryption key lifecycles.
• BYOK for AWS. Bring Your Own (encryption) Key management for AWS with Thales HSMs.
• Fast Vaultless Tokenization. In-line tokenization that enables fast throughput and lower maintenance costs with Vormetric Tokenization.
• Docker Encryption and Access Controls. Docker data-at-rest encryption and access controls that help to assure container images and file systems are controlled and secure.

Increasingly, enterprises recognize that sensitive data permeates their organizations. Compliance, regulation, customer requirements and simple prudence in the face of multi-layer attacks drive their need to protect this information. As a result, enterprises need to deploy and maintain data protection on thousands of physical and virtual servers within their data center and cloud environments without increasing resource usage and costs. Success requires tools that automate data protection processes at scale, support low total cost of ownership and reduce complexity.

Cloud service providers face the added complication of constantly changing resource usage. Systems and applications must be deployed, managed and decommissioned in minutes. Time from order to in-service is also a critical measure of customer satisfaction, and can directly affect top-line revenue. Orchestration enables the required speed and agility to meet these needs, and is a prerequisite for data protection solutions that operate within these large scale environments. The manual processes of the past, with their speed limitations, and opportunities for error, are not an option.

Simply Encrypt Everything

As identified in the 2016 Vormetric Data Threat Report, complexity is the top concern of cloud and enterprise organizations when using data protection. Simplicity is critical and requires solutions that combine state-of-the-art protection for data combined with easy deployment, scalability and manageability. Thales Orchestrator is explicitly designed to meet these needs. The solution reduces the cost of using and maintaining Vormetric products with simple automation of deployment, configuration and maintenance at scale and across enterprise internal, hybrid and cloud environments. Orchestrator includes a pre-built connection to Chef, a configuration and automation tool widely used in cloud and enterprise environments. In addition, RESTful APIs enable existing and evolving enterprise and cloud IT automation systems to integrate with Orchestrator.

"Thales Orchestrator directly addresses cloud provider and enterprise needs to easily scale and maintain data protection," said Vice President of Product Management, Derek Tumulak. "Orchestrator makes it even easier for organizations to adopt an encrypt everything strategy and provide strong protection for their data wherever it resides. The solution's open APIs are another critical element, enabling the scaling of data protection operations across local and cloud environments with hundreds to thousands of physical and virtual servers and a wide variety of automation and management tools."
