Defiance Data Protection System
Encryption for applications, databases, storage, and files

Defiance Data Protection System (DPS) continuously safeguards sensitive information throughout its lifecycle with patented encryption and key management.  Incorporation of strong encryption algorithms like 3DES and AES ensures support of widely accepted, industry standards.  Patented key management delivers centralized, secure key creation, distribution, and storage. 

For performance reasons, it is best to encrypt data closest to the transaction point.  However, for business process reasons driven by access, performance, and security requirements, encryption may need to occur at different levels.  Protegrity offers the most comprehensive suite of solutions that protect data continuously while balancing performance and business process requirements.

Central security policy definition and control provides a mechanism to distribute and enforce policy consistently across a distributed environment.  Activity logging guarantees information is available for comprehensive reporting and auditing Security policy extends to data in databases, files, storage, and applications.

Databases are protected by patented column-level encryption to ensure granular control over security.

File level encryption protects both structured and unstructured data wherever it may reside. Files placed in secured folders and directories are automatically encrypted.

Storage of encrypted data remains protected and is easily restored when needed.

Application level encryption makes certain data is encrypted at the point of collection.  Multiple deployment options make for easy integration with third party or homegrown applications.

Defiance Data Protection System features:

• Cross platform support for enterprise deployments across a wide range of databases and operating systems
• Separation of duties between database and security administrators to prevent “super user” access
• Minimal impact on existing applications
• High performance from leveraging server processing power.  This is critical for high volume processing platforms such as IBM zSeries, IBM iSeries and Teradata.
• Scalability to meet business requirements without adding additional resources
