- Pravin Kothari, Founder and CEO, CipherCloud (http://www.ciphercloud.com), says:
Instituted as a federal government standard in 2002,
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the security benchmark for the encryption
of electronic data and a mandatory requirement for many federal and global
agencies. AES is the first publicly accessible and open cipher approved by the
National Security Agency (NSA) for top secret information. Earlier this month CipherCloud's implementation
of the AES encryption algorithm was certified by NIST, making our cloud
data protection gateway the industry's first and only FIPS-certified solution.
We're the only company that offers format and
operations preserving encryption solutions for cloud services like
salesforce.com to have received the FIPS 197 accreditation. Reaching this certification achievement
speaks to our mission to provide the industry's most secure encryption
solutions for our customers who are concerned about security, privacy, and
compliance of their sensitive data in the cloud. Enterprises and government
organizations that require greater assurance to protect their sensitive data
can now rely on a highly credible third-party proven solution.
CipherCloud's technology provides a single gateway
as a platform to secure sensitive customer data across multiple public and
private cloud applications, such as Salesforce, Chatter and Amazon Web
Services, without impacting functionality or performance. The solution uses
comprehensive security controls including strong encryption, tokenization,
activity monitoring, and malware detection to address organizations' data
privacy, residency, security, and compliance concerns, and to accelerate cloud
adoption.
With identity theft due to the loss of online data a major concern these days, we need to better protect sensitive data stored in electronic form, particularly the personal information that students, employees and others associated with the university or company have placed in trust.
