CipherCloud Introduces Advanced Data Protection for SAP® SuccessFactors® Solutions

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CipherCloud, a leader in cloud security and governance, today announced the availability of new advanced data-protection capabilities for SAP^® SuccessFactors^® solutions. Built on CipherCloud's industry-leading Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) platform, the new capabilities help deliver advanced encryption and customer-controlled key management, enabling enterprises to retain full control over sensitive data and meet complex global data privacy requirements as they move to the SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite in the cloud.

As enterprises increasingly move sensitive data to the cloud, they face challenges complying with data privacy, data residency and industry regulations. CipherCloud provides persistent, end-to-end data protection—known as Active Encryption—to encrypt data in use, protecting it from insidious threats including account hijacking, insecure APIs and forced government disclosure. The solution allows enterprises to maintain complete control over sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access because the encryption keys are never shared with outsiders.

CipherCloud collaborated closely with SAP to tightly integrate data protection with the cloud-based SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite, defining specific personally identifiable information (PII) to be protected. CipherCloud leads the industry in preserving the functionality of encrypted data, for searching, sorting, reporting, third-party tools and mobile access, maintaining a seamless customer experience. CipherCloud solutions have been adopted by leading global enterprises in highly regulated industries including banking, financial services, defense, healthcare, life science, telecommunications and government. The solution is designed to help support compliance with strict global data privacy laws including GLBA, HIPAA, PCI and the upcoming European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

CipherCloud and SAP will jointly host a Webinar "Enabling SAP SuccessFactors with Data Protection from CipherCloud" on November 17, 2016. Register now.
