Today it was announced that Skyflow, leader in protecting privacy for enterprises, has
joined the Financial Data Exchange (FDX) to help speed the financial industry's
transition to modern, transparent and secure data sharing.
FDX represents an industry-wide movement to enhance consumer
and business control of financial data, through its FDX API and technical
standards that prioritize the group's Five Core Principles of Financial Data
Sharing - Control, Access, Transparency, Traceability and Security.
Skyflow enables organizations to build confidentiality and
trust into their systems through the industry's first API for privacy while
accelerating the creation and deployment of thousands of highly secure
applications in any cloud environment. Enterprises can now share data with
third-party services for collaboration and innovation with confidence that they
are not inadvertently sharing personal customer data.
"FDX is changing the game around secure sharing of data and
Skyflow join them in this mission. Data-intensive markets such as financial
services are turning to APIs that can help solve complex problems. FDX focuses
on improving the consumer and business control of financial data and privacy,
which is at the heart of what Skyflow's vision," said Anshu Sharma, CEO and
co-founder of Skyflow.
Software teams using Skyflow technology can create their own
privacy clouds, similar to how they create their own sales clouds or identity
clouds using other infrastructure-as-a-service companies, that allow their
applications to process valuable data without exposing any individual's
personally identifiable, payment card and personal health information (PII, PCI
or PHI).
Don Cardinal, managing director of the Financial Data
Exchange said: "We welcome new members like Skyflow to a growing financial
services ecosystem intent on establishing open banking standards that protect
consumers and businesses. The adoption of an API-based approach for data
sharing provides greater control, security and transparency for our members and
their customers."
Securing sensitive data such as PII is a critical task in
digital transformation and cloud adoption initiatives for the enterprise. In
addition for transactional applications where sensitive information must flow,
such as with payment information within the financial services industry, firms
can use their privacy cloud to share data with other services and apps as
needed, without compromising privacy or raising compliance issues. Skyflow will
offer best practices for safeguarding confidential data in financial systems
and access to its industry-first API for protecting privacy as banking
applications interact with users and confidential data in hybrid and
multi-cloud environments.
