GED-i™ solutions for robust storage-based data encryption
Are you:
considering using storage in the Cloud but unsure of its safety?
concerned about getting storage seized or stolen?
bothered about the speed of encryption between datacentres?
concerned about managing secure storage across the enterprise to ensure that you can recover quickly?
There are many encryption solutions on the market today, but very few if any provide the levels of security, convenience and cost effectiveness needed to ensure that these issues and many more are resolved.
Encryption Today: the usual method of data encryption employed today, uses in-place processes on either a server or its associated data storage to encrypt sensitive data. Often only the required columns of database tables are encrypted to save on processor load. It is estimated that up to 20% of the CPU usage on such a system is consumed in encrypting and de-encrypting a single column of data.
In addition any changes to the schema and encryption rules can be a difficult and time consuming job, typically involving server down time and very skilled personnel.
The Challenge of new risks and privacy rules: with the introduction of privacy regulations such as PCI DSS, CA 1386, DOD 5015, HIPAA, GLBA and the report Guide to Storage Encryption Technologies by NIST - see Special Publication 800-111 the requirement to strengthen encryption and the required quality of data protection is putting additional pressure on processing engines to provide sufficient performance to protect sensitive data from theft.
The family of GED-i storage data encryption solutions represents a major step to achieve compliance with these new privacy regulations and will save you money and time and significantly reduce your risks of data theft or other anauthorised data use.
GED-i's encryption solution is the core layer for data security and it will:
How does GED-i achieve its benefits?
The GED-i patent-pending solution provides three layers of security: Industry Standard Cryptography, proprietary geometric scrambling and proprietary interference. GED-i's solutions are unique in their ability to thwart even the most sophisticated attempts to illegitimately retrieve protected data via a Multi-layer combination of innovative and conventional methods:
To convert plain text into Cipher text
Data segmentation and segment scrambling
To reduce the continuity of data volumes and to hide known data structure
To prevent data segment regrouping and reordering
Dependent on your storage usage and the level of solution you require then there are various levels of GED-i software and appliances available as follows:
The Superior model presents the best available security for large deployments of storage devices.
The All-In-One (AIO) model is mainly aimed at the SMB market and presents full security in a single appliance.
The Personal model enables security of personal or department data on a Data Safe Box.
