Credant Technologies, the trusted expert in data protection, today announced immediate availability of the beta program for its cloud encryption software for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) private cloud infrastructures.
The new Credant cloud security platform provides enterprise customers with the ability to more rapidly embrace cloud infrastructure by removing the primary roadblock to adoption-data security.
With this launch, Credant enables organisations to control and enforce security whether corporate data is located in private, hybrid or public cloud infrastructures. The Credant cloud security platform provides the only cloud data security approach to enable granular encryption, access control and key management that allows enterprises to protect against insider threat, including from the cloud provider itself.

Credant, the comprehensive provider of endpoint, mobile and cloud data protection, is breaking down the security barriers for clients moving to cloud computing models. Credant's approach, new to the field of cloud security, is to protect data itself rather than protecting specific volumes, drives or devices. Its encryption technology is the only automated, centrally managed, policy-based solution on the market, providing real-time protection and peace-of-mind for enterprise and government customers with sensitive data. Competitive solutions are either unworkable in cloud infrastructures or are highly labour intensive and have so far failed to meet the needs of enterprise customers wishing to move to the cloud.
The solution will enable businesses and government organisations to deploy private cloud infrastructures as part of their long-term roadmap to full cloud utilisation, by putting data security in the control of the enterprise - not the cloud administrator.
By enabling the IT security organisation to control encryption of critical data on cloud platforms centrally, and in a way that is fully integrated with other data protection and encryption solutions already in place, organisations can safely embrace private, hybrid and public cloud computing models with the knowledge that their data is safe from co-tenants, hackers and malicious insiders.
The Credant cloud security platform:
* Effectively eliminates the risk of an insider (either within the organization or working for an outsourced provider) accessing or stealing sensitive data;
* Provides granular access to decrypted information to the authorised user only while administrators (local and third-party) access only the system and not the protected data;
* Enables seamless management of data security on physical infrastructure, mobile devices, removable media, private clouds, VDIs, and hybrid/public cloud models, in a way that is transparent to users; and
* Prevents unprotected data leakage to removable media while enabling secure usage and control of removable storage.
"Credant's robust key management technology and data-centric encryption technology allows us to solve one of the core cloud security problems in a fundamentally different way," said Chris Burchett, chief technology officer and co-founder, Credant Technologies.
"The complexity of managing cloud infrastructures requires a new model for data security, and our new offering defines the path for organisations to more rapidly and securely adopt cloud models by removing the risks of data theft and insider attack wherever the data resides. This isn't just about security - it's about accelerating the transformation to the cloud for our customers."
The Credant announced solution is the first of a series of releases targeting data security in the cloud. It provides simple, centrally managed security for data in private cloud infrastructures utilising VDI.
This new solution offers a far more secure and business-aligned approach to protect data, and is built upon Credant's extensive expertise as the world's largest endpoint data security specialist. The beta program is now available; organisations can register to participate by visiting www.credant.com/cloudsecurity.
