Cloud Data Protection Done Right: When Bringing Your Own Key Just Isn’t Enough
Apr 13, 2018

Data encryption is undoubtedly the most popular technology for securing data in the cloud, but also one of the most misunderstood ones. Although most cloud service providers offer their own capabilities for encrypting data at rest or in transit, their implementations may vary dramatically in scope and quality. Without understanding of underlying principles, it is too difficult for most customers to see behind marketing buzzwords and to estimate what grade of security they are actually getting. Protecting your data from unauthorized access isn’t even your cloud provider’s legal responsibility – you are still fully responsible for all consequences of any data breach.

Cloud services are a key enabler in this, they allow the capture, storage, and exploitation of vast amounts of data without the need for capital expenditure. They enable the rapid development and deployment of new applications as well as the modernization of existing one.

(Big) Data Security: Protecting Information at the Source
Jun 02, 2017

With the growing adoption of cloud computing, Big Data or open APIs, managing, securing and sharing massive amounts of digital data across heterogeneous and increasingly interconnected infrastructures is becoming increasingly difficult. From file servers to relational databases and big data frameworks, to the Internet of Things and entire API ecosystems – each data model imposes its own security controls and separate technology stack for enforcing them. An alternative approach – data-centric security – is in fact nothing new and quite simple in theory: instead of managing access to each individual infrastructure, just focus on protecting the data itself, regardless of its type and location. However, practical implementations of this concept depend heavily on two things: standards and policies. A solution that manages to successfully implement them in a unified, flexible and open manner, could surely be able to bring data security to a new level.
