"With Vormetric's Data Firewall™ technology for protecting deployments within AWS, our clients can be confident in the security of our services when it comes to protecting their high-value data."

The Vormetric Data Firewall on AWS provides users strong, layered security for data wherever it resides within AWS environments – delivering:

• Encryption and Key Management – strong, centrally managed, encryption and key management that enables compliance and is transparent to processes, applications and users.
• Access Policies and Privileged User Controls – that restrict access to encrypted data –ensuring that data is decrypted only for authorized users and processes, and allowing privileged users to perform their jobs without access to protected information.
• Security Intelligence – logs that capture all access attempts to protected data, providing high value security intelligence information that can be used with a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution.
• Automation – For fast rollouts and integration with existing infrastructure, both web and command line level APIs provide access to the Vormetric Data Security environment for policy management, deployment and monitoring.

"Our goal is to offer organizations of all types the most innovative and easy-to-use data security technology whenever and wherever needed," said Alan Kessler, CEO of Vormetric. "Before today, customers who wanted the protection supplied by Vormetric's Data Security technology in AWS environments faced multiple challenges in integrating their enterprise and AWS resources. This new offering is making it easier than ever before to make Vormetric Data Security part of AWS implementations - giving enterprises and SaaS providers quick, easy access to the very best data security solutions, all within AWS."
