Digital security provider Gemalto on Tuesday announced its SafeNet data encryption and key management solutions for customers using VMware Cloud on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
VMware Cloud brings together VMware's enterprise-class Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) software and elastic, bare-metal infrastructure from AWS to give organisations consistent operating model and application mobility for private and public cloud. Gemalto's SafeNet solutions enable VMware Cloud on AWS customers to deploy client-side encryption, centralised key management and tokenisation to simplify security operations such as data visibility, compliance auditing and policy execution and enforcement.
Gemalto's SafeNet data encryption and key management solutions help organisations protect their data in the cloud, applications, data centers, networks and virtual environments.
VMware customers running workloads in AWS can easily integrate Gemalto's cloud-ready security technology to boost cloud security and gain the visibility and control needed to consistently and effectively enforce security controls.
Users can also ensure key ownership through secure key storage, high availability, and scalability, thereby retaining total control of their encryption keys and data. Administrators can also centrally manage keys, permissions and policies with more speed, ease, and efficiency.
The centralised platform also enables customers to ensure and demonstrate compliance with stringent security policies and compliance mandates.

VMware Cloud on AWS technology partners enable customers to deploy the same proven solutions seamlessly in both the public and private cloud. VMware simplifies the deployment and eliminates the need for partners to refactor solutions for VMware Cloud on AWS.
If a partner solution works on-premises in a VMware vSphere environment, it will easily support VMware Cloud on AWS. VMware technology partners complement and enhance native VMware Cloud on AWS service and enable customers to realize new capabilities.
"Companies gain elasticity and speed to market with the cloud, but often want to maintain control over the security of their data. With Gemalto, VMware Cloud on AWS customers have one data protection solution making it easier to monitor and track all of their activities," said Todd Moore, senior vice president of Encryption Products at Gemalto.
"Working across multiple cloud services is becoming the norm. Using a centralized system helps companies take a preventative approach to security instead of reactive one by getting a better understanding of where the data resides, how it is being used and the current threats to privileged users," he added.
