Through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) in the Smart Encryption Platform, a New York-based NYSE-listed financial services provider quickly embedded proven security into their applications without the learning curve and costs of crypto libraries or key management.

We worked with one European automobile manufacturer on their tricky data integrity workflow. With the Smart Encryption Platform, the car-maker's development team added authentication and digital signing as quick-hit features in their security transactions, guaranteeing files weren't compromised as they were shared with team members while maintaining the desired recipients. A DLP component in the platform enabled admins to ensure policy and compliance of information as it came and went.

One major U.S. bank chose the Smart Encryption Platform because of its ability to protect entire databases with field-level, length preserving encryption. This type of encryption secures structured data on all platforms—from the mainframe to distributed systems—and supports most structured database development environments, including C/C++, Objective-C, Java, .NET and COBOL.

A hub-and-spoke secure sharing environment was the best security option at one southeast U.S. healthcare info processing firm. The healthcare firm houses patient data provided by dozens of hospitals. With the "secure data exchange" aspect of the Smart Encryption Platform, this healthcare company could lock down data and easily keep it attributed to its numerous partners. At the same time, the partners could continue to use their own hardware and applications to share and receive patient info because of the interoperability baked into the platform.

A Midwest insurance provider found that with their in-house data encryption tools, they could seamlessly add encryption from the Smart Encryption Platform that kept employee files safe on any mobile device and their laptops. Encryption that is based on standards—rather than vendor/proprietary security—opened the door for the insurance company to let their traveling and remote workforce access documents behind the firewall on their smartphones, tablets and laptops without concern of unprotected data or unsecured sharing blunders. In addition, the insurance company was able to save on data storage costs, as this compatible, secure data could be stored and shared in public clouds like Dropbox.

One IT solutions contractor we worked with was tasked with enabling safe data sharing that also met compliance benchmarks with customers from the federal government, retail partners and healthcare systems admins. Protection and standards-based compliance incorporated in the Smart Encryption Platform gave this contractor peace of mind that it was satisfying PCI DSS, HIPAA, HI-TECH and FIPS 140-2, along with its own, high security expectations.

Application developers at one East Coast "banker's bank" were able to use aspects of the Smart Encryption Platform as the basis for their overnight batch file transfers. Compression and encryption were slipped into their existing process. Almost overnight, they found a 18% reduction in data transfer time and thousands of dollars in savings from reduced data storage and refined SLAs.
