Armadillo Selects Voltage Security to Bring Data-centric Information Protection to Enterprise Customers
By protecting the sensitive data itself, even if determined cybercriminals successfully gain access, they are only stealing data that has been rendered useless
London, UK – March 21, 2012 – Armadillo, the UK’s leading security solutions integrator and one of the world’s most experienced eGRC providers, today announced that it has entered into partnership with Voltage Security in order to bring data-centric security and simplified stateless key management to customers, many of which are very large, complex and heterogeneous enterprises. Voltage solutions enable the protection of structured and unstructured sensitive data from end-to-end, as it’s used across data centres, public and private clouds and mobile devices. Data-centric security is one of the most powerful ways to protect against the impact of data breaches while effectively addressing current and future compliance requirements. Voltage leverages breakthrough technologies to enable solutions that work seamlessly, are highly scalable, and reduce costs and complexity.
Through this partnership, Armadillo can immediately empower customers with a fully-integrated end-to-end security offering that brings data-centric security to email messages, files and documents, databases and applications enterprise-wide.
“CISOs know that at some point their networks will be compromised; it’s no longer a case of if you will be hacked, but likely when,” said Rob Hale, eGRC Practice Lead. “With the latest technology advancements and innovations brought about by Voltage, security can now evolve from a focus on protecting the network perimeter to the ‘best case scenario’ of protecting the data itself. Then, in the event that a network breach does occur, any data that is stolen becomes worthless to criminals.”
“Data-centric protection should be a critical part of an effective security strategy, and the Voltage products offer the perfect complement to Armadillo’s eGRC solution set,” added Mark Newns, CEO of Armadillo.
“By working together we can better serve the needs of the many enterprise organisations currently wrestling with the complexity of regulatory and compliance mandates,” said Ravi Pather, vice president of sales, EMEA for Voltage Security. “Voltage’s data-centric approach leverages technologies such as Voltage Identity-Based Encryption™ (IBE) and Voltage Format-Preserving Encryption™ (FPE), rendering sensitive data useless to hackers and, in effect, turning the gold they’re after into straw.”
