Safenet To Showcase Latest Data Security Solutions At GITEX 2012
SafeNet, Inc., the global leader in data protection, will showcase SafeNet latest data security solutions at the 2012 Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX 2012). Visitors to the SafeNet booth in Hall 2, D2-10, can experience these solutions first-hand and understand how these can be customised to meet particular business pain points.
GITEX will be the first opportunity for Middle Eastern customers and partners to experience a live demonstration of how ProtectV provides complete data encryption for virtualized and cloud environments. By enabling virtual machines and storage volumes to be secure in on-premise environments, ProtectV allows organizations to run systems as if it was their own private data centre, even in co-mingled or multi-tenant environments.
As all VMs and associated storage volumes are encrypted, unauthorized users and even super-user administrators who may have control over the virtualization infrastructure cannot access the encrypted VMs – enforcing separation of duties and ensuring ownership of data for compliance with industry and governmental regulations. ProtectV is compatible with VMware vCloud® Networking and Security and VMware vCenter™ Server. In addition, SafeNet ProtectV can be used by Amazon Web Services customers to secure their critical data in the cloud.
Alongside ProtectV, SafeNet will be showcasing related data security solutions for securing virtualised environments and access to them:
StorageSecure – Newly available this solution enables organisations to achieve compliance and protect files on any network attached storage (NAS) used in the datacentre. It allows transparent encryption of any existing CIFS, NFS and iSCSI IP, networking infrastructure.
KeySecure – A KMIP compliant, FIPS140-2 level 3 validated enterprise key management (EKM) solution that enables a single, centralized platform for managing multiple cryptographic keys for applications, hardware security modules and storage and archive devices, including NetApp Self Encryption (NSE) drives, Brocade Encryption Switch (BES), Hitachi, Quantum and many others. This resolves the difficulties experienced when use of encryption proliferates throughout an organisation and security teams must scale their management of encryption keys, including key generation, key import and export, key rotation, and much more.
SafeNet Authentication Service for Virtual Desktops – A cloud service solution that uniquely deploys strong user authentication quickly, cost effectively and seamlessly – regardless of any other authentication methods or vendors which are already incumbent. Cloud delivery and management is ideally suited for VDI implementations with large end user bases working remotely or widely dispersed geographically. SafeNet Authentication Service is tested with VMware View® 5.1.
“SafeNet is in a unique position to help service providers and enterprises achieve strong authentication in a seamless, scalable, easy, and cost-effective manner. With our focus on virtualised and cloud environments, which are key areas of concern in the current scenario, supported by the industry-leading solutions we offer, we are confident of generating tremendous interest at GITEX this year,” summarises Miguel Braojos, Vice President of Sales Southern Europe, Middle East and Africa (SEMEA), SafeNet.
SafeNet’s revenue in MEA has grown considerably over the past few years with both sales & technical resources extended by a recently established sales office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The year on year growth for FY2012 was very strong and well above the 35%.
