Thales today announced the latest CipherTrust Cloud Key Manager innovations that help enterprises meet digital sovereignty demands across leading public clouds including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure , Oracle Cloud, SAP and Salesforce. Enterprises using these cloud providers can now leverage the Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) capabilities of CipherTrust Cloud Key Manager to increase data security and encryption key ownership.
According to the 2022 Thales Cloud Security Study, multi-cloud adoption is accelerating, with 72% of all companies surveyed utilizing multiple cloud service providers. Additionally, 52% of survey respondents said they manage the keys to their cloud-encrypted data from the cloud provider’s console.
With BYOK functionality, customers can centralize key management across all clouds with external key management services, ensuring full encryption capability and key lifecycle management to maintain control of sensitive data across multiple public clouds.
CipherTrust Cloud Key Manager, the industry-leading multi-cloud encryption key lifecycle management solution, enables customers to migrate to the cloud and manage both cloud-native keys and Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) . Thales’ service supports the growing preference among companies to maintain and control their own keys outside the cloud where their sensitive data is stored, achieve regulatory compliance and unlock the full potential of their multi-cloud environment.
Todd Moore, Vice President of Encryption Products at Thales, said: “Companies across all industries are going to the cloud and migrating their sensitive information in the process. While this has significant benefits, IT professionals also have to deal with the new security implications of this change. We help customers address critical challenges in data governance, risk, and compliance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, while responding to the growing preference among enterprises to centralize, maintain, and control their high-quality keys for use in a cloud”.
