Enterprise-Grade Encryption

To enable self-service analytics, data democratization is desired as it puts data in the hands of as many users as possible for advanced analytics, which partly accounts for digital transformation’s dominant theme of migrating to the cloud to improve data access. However, managing the inherent data security and privacy risks of making data widely available has become an arduous task. This concern is magnified across modern hybrid- and multi-cloud architecture in which data access policies are consistently applied across settings and tools. The cybersecurity community has come up with defensive mechanisms like the layered security approach and the zero-trust architecture, but at the core of them is securing mission-critical information at the data level. Privacera provides comprehensive, end-to-end cloud data protection consisting of automated sensitive data discovery and classification, centralized access control with distributed native enforcement, and dynamic data masking. One critical capability that supports the entire data protection value chain is Privacera Encryption.
