The report recognised Thalesโ€™ leadership role within the data security market through itsย CipherTrust Data Security Platform.

With the accelerated move to the cloud and decentralisation of business operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, effective data security has become even more essential for safeguarding businesses against cybercrime. The Thalesย 2020 Data Threat Reportย reveals that 100% of businesses surveyed report that at least some of the sensitive data they are storing in the cloud is not encrypted. According to the report, only 54% of sensitive data in the cloud is protected by encryption and even less (44%) is protected by tokenisation. Despite this, a fifth of firms (20%) intend to reduce data security spend in the next year. A centralized data security platform, that protects data across all of an organizationโ€™s environments, can save an organization time and money while improving security compliance.

โ€œCovid-19 has changed the way that we use, store, and access data. Hackers are looking for potential vulnerabilities to access this sensitive data in remote databases and big data arrays. Our CipherTrust Data Security Platform provides powerful and easy to use tools to discover, protect and control their data no matter where it resides.โ€ย said Todd Moore, Vice President of Encryption Solutions at Thales.ย โ€œItโ€™s hugely rewarding to be noted by KuppingerCole as a leader in database and big data security. This recognition illustrates Thalesโ€™s strong offering within the market and our continued commitment to meet our customersโ€™ ever more complex data privacy needs.โ€

CipherTrust Data Security Platformย is in a single platform dedicated to simplifying the data security compliance process that combines both Thalesโ€™s Vormetric and SafeNet KeySecure technologies. It was developed to unify data discovery, classification, and risk-analysis functions with encryption, access, data masking and key management to provide seamless and comprehensive protection from breaches.
