Protecting data starts with understanding data
Enterprise data is spread across data centers, cloud platforms, file shares, databases and SaaS applications. It is difficult to apply effective encryption or access policies without knowing where sensitive data resides.
Thales CipherTrust brings data discovery, classification, encryption, tokenization and key management into a unified data security approach. Teknoa maps this approach to compliance, audit and operational objectives.
The value of centralized key management
Encryption is not only about algorithms. The more important questions are who generates the keys, where they are stored, how they are rotated and which applications can access them.
CipherTrust Manager helps reduce operational complexity by centralizing policy and key management across data security components.
- Define key lifecycle and rotation policies.
- Model privileged access and separation of duties.
- Prioritize database, file system and application integrations.
Encryption, tokenization and masking
The same protection method is not right for every dataset. Encryption, tokenization and masking each serve different purposes depending on architecture, performance, data format and regulatory requirements.
Teknoa balances technical requirements and business goals in Thales projects so security improves without harming application continuity or user experience.
Key ownership during cloud migration
For organizations moving to cloud platforms, the question “who controls the key?” becomes strategic. Customer-controlled key management can be essential for regulation and internal policy.
CipherTrust can act as a central control point for hybrid and multi-cloud data security strategies. Teknoa supports the network, identity, logging and operational design around that control point.
