- New solution offers an automated workflow to
discover, protect and control your data using encryption and access
controls
- Built on Thales’s CipherTrust Data Security Platform to further
simplify, streamline and reduce the complexity of data
protection
- Simplifies meeting privacy requirements of major regulatory and
industry mandates
Building on the success of the CipherTrust Data Security
Platform, Thales has released CipherTrust Intelligent Protection, a
new solution that further simplifies operational complexity and
strengthens data security efforts with automated processes that
discover, protect and control sensitive data anywhere. Faced
with overwhelming data growth, organisations can use CipherTrust
Intelligent Protection to safeguard all sensitive information
without the added cost and complexity of traditional data
protection products and services. Once the sensitive data has been
discovered and classified based on vulnerability and other risk
profiles, the new solution automatically protects at-risk data with
encryption and robust access controls.

CipherTrust Intelligent Protection is a solution configuration
within the Thales CipherTrust Data Security Platform that works
together with CipherTrust Manager, CipherTrust Data Discovery and
Classification, and CipherTrust Transparent Encryption –an
all-in-one solution that delivers a unified approach. CipherTrust
Intelligent Protection addresses the evolving challenges of
regulatory compliance by facilitating accelerated time to
compliance with automatic data protection controls. It also offers
easy-to-use, pre-programmed tools to quickly and effectively secure
unstructured sensitive data on-premises and in the cloud.
Reducing complexity in data protection with integrated
automation As organisations contend with expanding datasets,
permanent work-from-home or hybrid office schemes, and the
increased use of multi-cloud services, lack of visibility places
their sensitive data at risk. Thales’s 2021 Data Threat Report
found that the use of cloud-based infrastructure exposes new risks
as an organisation’s data footprint expands and raises concerns
about operational complexity. Less than a quarter (24%) of
respondents said they have complete knowledge of where their data
is stored. Configurable policies with built-in templates to rapidly
discover and classify unstructured sensitive data can be used to
protect data on-premises and in the cloud.
“Cloud computing services and data security requirements will
only grow more complex as organisations work to keep pace with new
and evolving work environments,” said Todd Moore, VP Encryption
Products at Thales. “Increased operational complexity demands
simplified security procedures, and CipherTrust Intelligent
Protection makes it significantly easier for companies to safeguard
data proactively based on known vulnerabilities and data privacy
regulations, which reduces overall business risk. Intelligent
Protection provides the automation so customers can confidently
take data security measures into their own hands with an all-in-one
solution.”
Accelerating time-to-compliance
Today’s businesses and organisations must remain in compliance
with a broad range of regulations and mandates, including GDPR,
CCPA, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. Data privacy laws and regulations are
never static – new ones appear regularly and existing ones often
get enhanced, making it difficult for you to keep pace. An
integrated and automated solution helps eliminate blind spots and
human error, making a considerable difference in complying with
various regulations.
"This all-in-one solution combines the best of the Ground Labs'
data discovery technology with Thales’ CipherTrust Data Security
Platform to give organizations the power to automatically discover,
classify and keep sensitive data secure, whether it's on-premises
or in the cloud," said Stephen Cavey, co-founder and chief
evangelist of Ground Labs. “Our partnership with Thales underscores
our common mission to protect our customers, regardless of where
they store their data - and through this collaboration, we can
better meet the data security needs of customers today and in the
future."
“Managing risk is becoming increasingly burdensome for IT
leaders not only because of the volume and sophistication of
cyber-attacks but also due to the operational complexity of
managing disparate security products and services,” said Frank
Dickson, Program Vice President, Security & Trust, IDC.
“Truly integrated platforms that automate the discovery,
classification and protection of sensitive data can help
organisations reduce both hard costs and risks associated with
stitching together multivendor solutions while addressing and
mitigating soft costs by simplifying data security operations and
compliance.”
Uncover and Close Security Gaps
Finding a way to rapidly identify data compliance gaps and
potential security risks is of paramount importance. Using the high
performance and accurate discovery engine is an extremely useful
way to find data subject to regulations that organizations may not
realize even exists. CipherTrust Data Discovery and Classification
provides risk-based guidance on what specific data to encrypt.
Linking this discovery process to CipherTrust Transparent
Encryption provides organizations with a fast track to
automatically uncover and close security gaps.
