The New Data Landscape
Data is more ubiquitous and more strategic, yet more vulnerable than ever before. A major contributing factor to this new data landscape is cloud computing. IT executives must figure out how to adequately address the risks and cost-effectively exploit the advantages represented by moving corporate data into the cloud. IT executives are looking for ways to maximize the potential of the emerging data dynamic while minimizing its risk. What's needed is a solution that both supports the parameters and addresses the requirements of the new data landscape: security-oriented, portable, and cost effective. The PKWARE Solution, which combines data reduction and data security technology, is ideally suited to the security and transportability needs of the new data landscape.
Maximizing Your Investments in HSPD-12 PIV Cards to Protect Sensitive Agency Data
Federal agencies have been required to make significant investments in smart card technology to verify identity of employees and contractors. Compliance with the mandate is high, with 89% of all employees and contractors receiving electronic credentials by the end of 2011. Now that deployment is nearing saturation, agencies seek to realize more value from their investments while ensuring the security of agency sensitive data. This paper explores alternative data security uses for smart media containing electronic credentials, and possible options to maximize ROI.
How Data-centric Protection Increases Security in Cloud Computing and Virtualization
Cloud services and virtualization are driving significant shifts in IT spending and deployments. While the public IT cloud has a silver lining for many adopters, it isn’t without drawbacks, especially in regards to data protection. This white paper will cover how data-centric encryption secures your data across all computing platforms and operating systems and works within a private, public or hybrid cloud computing environment.
