Thales announced its CipherTrust Tokenization is
the first SAP-certified tokenization solution available to SAP
customers that can be used to secure sensitive data. Available via SAP Data Custodian,
Thales's tokenization solution provides more granular levels of data
protection and user access controls, dramatically accelerating time to
compliance for organizations that are moving more applications and
workload to the cloud.
The
new availability of Thales's CipherTrust Tokenization in the SAP Data
Custodian builds on a successful, long-term relationship between the two
companies for encryption, tokenization and key management solutions.
The tokenization solution in the SAP Data Custodian was developed by
both organisations through SAP's Co-innovation Lab, ensuring the
security of sensitive data at the most fundamental levels of the
application. SAP customers can now secure their private data at rest in a
database, in use, and even during development.
"The
release of the SAP Data Custodian Tokenization solution powered by
Thales's CipherTrust Tokenization service further advances our
commitment to secure our customers' private data as they migrate to the
public cloud," said Dr Wasif Gilani at SAP. "This
new solution builds on the strengths of both partners to create a
comprehensive, trustworthy solution for our customers as they operate
their applications using sensitive data."
Maintaining compliance with demanding security regulations
Today's
enterprises must ensure the privacy and security of sensitive data,
including personally identifiable information (PII) and payment card
information (PCI). In particular, the Schrems II decision mandates that
all European companies conduct individual assessments of each data
transfer to a non-EU country to ensure compliance. The new partnership
between Thales and SAP allows customers to define security on a
per-field basis in the application according to templates in the Data
Custodian user interface. Field-level security protects private data
before it is written to databases, simplifying database access controls
and ensuring compliance with PII and PCI regulations.
"Modern
enterprises recognize the importance of a comprehensive cybersecurity
solution, protecting sensitive data throughout its entire lifecycle,
including the earliest moments of data creation," said Todd Moore, vice president of encryption products at Thales. "This
new CipherTrust Tokenization solution, co-developed with our partners
at SAP, will give users the confidence that their data is secure at all
times even at the most granular, field level. We will continue to
partner with companies like SAP to develop highly integrated solutions
that ensure data security for all cloud users."
Thales's CipherTrust Tokenization solution is generally available today to secure all SAP applications supported by the SAP Data Custodian.
