"The financial consequences of IT disruptions arise from lost sales and productivity; in addition, consequent reputational damage can have a longer term knock-on effect," he added. "Downtime need not be caused by system outage, it can be due to data processing, which includes encryption. The idea behind Vormetric's Live Data Transformation is to solve this problem, even for large databases with high transaction volumes. Any organization which needs to ensure both constant data security and availability should take a look at such technology." Compliance requirements and best practices increasingly call for organizations to encrypt and control access to sensitive data, while also logging and auditing information about sensitive data access. The company's recent 2016 Vormetric Data Threat Report revealed that perceived "complexity" is the No. 1 reason that enterprises do not adopt data security tools and techniques that support these capabilities more widely. These advanced data security controls directly address this problem by enabling enterprises to confidently support their digital transformation more easily, simply and in more environments than ever before. "Thales continues to innovate by providing advanced data security solutions and services that delivers trust wherever information is created, shared or stored," said Vice President of Product Management for Thales e-Security, Derek Tumulak. "No other organization offers the depth and breadth of integrated data security solutions, or enables enterprises to confidently accelerate their digital transformation, like Thales." Availability: All new offerings are planned to be available in Q1 2017.
