Aachen, Germany and Campbell (CA), March 15, 2022 – Utimaco, a leading global provider of IT security solutions, today announces the launch of u.trust Data File for data encryption. Adding the new product to its portfolio means that Utimaco now offers its customers a complete suite of solutions for data encryption, hardware security modules, key management, and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for their IT security requirements.
Protecting data is becoming increasingly important for authorities and companies across all industries. Rapid digitization and remote working have opened potential new attack vectors, with the increased use of cloud-based services leading to data being shared and hosted externally. Companies must therefore protect their data regardless of the storage location. Further, regulators hold organizations responsible for failing to comply with data management and data access standards that lead to data breaches.
Utimaco’s u.trust Data File addresses these issues by providing an easily integrated software-based solution that ensures compliant handling of sensitive data in accordance with data protection regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, PDPA, etc. At the same time, it is designed to be user-friendly, critical for the acceptance of security measures as employees will not notice any difference in their working routines.
Key features include:
- Role-based encryption of sensitive and business-critical data
- Protection of Data at Rest and Data in Motion with persistent encryption
- High scalability for all sizes of organizations in all industries for all types of files
- Flexible implementation of different protection scenarios to fulfill various data protection requirements
- Multi-platform approach: Windows (10 & Server incl. Terminal), macOS, iOS, Android, Linux (planned)
- Cloud & Multi-Cloud enabled: supports encrypted storage on the most common Cloud Storage Providers such as Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive, or Dropbox
- Complete setup of an encrypted environment within large enterprises by definition of 5-7 generic rules
- Integration with Utimaco’s Key Management and Hardware Security Solutions for highest levels of security and certification
“The protection of business-critical and sensitive data is a typical challenge for companies worldwide. Utimaco u.trust Data File offers reliable data encryption without changing working routines for employees and administrators,” Mario Galatovic, Vice President Products & Alliances at Utimaco, commented.
