Thales has released CipherTrust Intelligent Protection, a new solution that further simplifies operational complexity and strengthens data security efforts with automated processes that discover, protect and control sensitive data anywhere. Faced with overwhelming data growth, organizations can use CipherTrust Intelligent Protection to safeguard all sensitive information without the added cost and complexity of traditional data protection products and services. Once the sensitive data has been discovered and classified based on vulnerability and other risk profiles, the new solution automatically protects at-risk data with encryption and robust access controls. CipherTrust Intelligent Protection is a solution configuration within the Thales CipherTrust Data Security Platform that works together with CipherTrust Manager, CipherTrust Data Discovery and Classification, and CipherTrust Transparent Encryption ?an all-in-one solution that delivers a unified approach. CipherTrust Intelligent Protection addresses the evolving challenges of regulatory compliance by facilitating accelerated time to compliance with automatic data protection controls. It also offers easy-to-use, pre-programmed tools to quickly and effectively secure unstructured sensitive data on-premises and in the cloud. As organizations contend with expanding datasets, permanent work-from-home or hybrid office schemes, and the increased use of multi-cloud services, lack of visibility places their sensitive data at risk. Thales?s 2021 Data Threat Report found that the use of cloud-based infrastructure exposes new risks as an organization's data footprint expands and raises concerns about operational complexity. Less than a quarter (24%) of respondents said they have complete knowledge of where their data is stored. Configurable policies with built-in templates to rapidly discover and classify unstructured sensitive data can be used to protect data on-premises and in the cloud.
