Vaultree announced the release of its Data-in-Use
Encryption for Google's AlloyDB - available now for preview trial. As
a launch partner with Google's AlloyDB, the offering pairs the world's first
fully functional Encryption-in-use solution powered by Vaultree with Google's
AlloyDB for PostgreSQL. Users will now be able to trial running Vaultree's
fully homomorphic and searchable encryption technology in the cloud,
representing a breakthrough in encryption standards to enable next generation
encryption and data protection.
"As the first Encryption-in-use solution
vendor to offer a trial of a fully functional and sub-linear Fully Homomorphic
(FHE) and Searchable Encryption (SE) solution in the cloud, we are showing the
way to a new era of cloud-based data protection by designing and offering
user-friendly encryption technologies that protect against the threats of today
and tomorrow," said Ryan Lasmaili, CEO and co-founder of Vaultree. Vaultree has
pushed through encryption technology breakthroughs such as making FHE and SE
usable on standard purpose hardware, as well as allowing for full integration
into enterprises' existing tech stacks and live production database
technologies. "Plaintext data leaks should be a problem of the past, and
Vaultree's software development kit (SDK) is the first of its kind with a
mission to eliminate the threat of plaintext data being exposed. Vaultree
enables endless encrypted opportunities by turning encryption into a business
enabler. This solution enables enterprises to develop products that utilize
encrypted data, with the ability to query, compute, analyze or share encrypted
data cross-border with third parties without the need to decrypt data,
pioneering a universe of possibilities in a true zero trust environment."
Vaultree and Google's AlloyDB for
PostgreSQL allow customers to choose what to encrypt, and manage their own keys
with zero learning curve or changes to the existing query languages, data
structure, architecture, network topology, or policies and/or permissions. This
is all accomplished with minimal performance loss in the cloud.
Vaultree's in-stealth unprecedented
development and innovation is targeted to meet customers' data protection needs
and legal requirements with unparalleled performance and simplicity, while
expanding the depth and capacity of Vaultree's solution, offering a wider array
of possibilities to reach new industries and markets. AlloyDB combines the best
of Google with one of the most popular open-source database engines,
PostgreSQL, for superior performance, scale, and availability. With this
preview, Vaultree is enabling Google's AlloyDB customers to take a look into a
reliable, fast and seamless integration of the most advanced encryption product
on the market.
With the industry status quo of
traditional encryption, enterprises cannot search, process or analyze encrypted
data. While the industry is beginning to see emerging privacy enhancing
technologies (PETs) offering similar functionalities in FHE or SE, these
emerging solutions come with major limitations for enterprises. Drawbacks
include slow and unscalable performance as well as significant changes and IT
complexity required to update the data, databases and applications - which in
turn makes adoption difficult, slow and costly. Vaultree transparently
eliminates these obstacles.
"Breaches or leaks will continue
happening, no matter how many tools are in the first line of defense, but the
second line of defense - encryption - has been neglected for decades because
data still has to be decrypted in order to be worked with. The only way forward
is an always-encrypted approach," said Tilo Weigandt, COO and co-founder of
Vaultree. "To date, missing usability and performance has limited the adoption
of encryption-in-use solutions, but Vaultree made it possible and took one step
further: taking it into Google's AlloyDB."
