PKWARE Launches New Data Security Platform to Defend Against Today's Threats

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PKWARE, the leader in enterprise data security, has launched PKWARE Data Security Platform™, a new breakthrough in data protection that ties security into every layer of the enterprise infrastructure. Using advanced application programming interfaces (APIs), this technology is designed to protect critical information without interrupting how business leaders share, store and send it.

PKWARE Data Security Platform is an open architecture security platform that helps organizations reduce the risks and impact of a breach, meet corporate compliance goals and minimize complexity. Additionally, the product cuts the burden of support by providing tools and technologies necessary to quickly and effectively add security at every layer of the enterprise IT stack.

Interoperable across hardware, software and devices, PKWARE Data Security Platform is 100 percent standards based and integrates the most vetted cryptographic technologies available to support both structured and unstructured data. It integrates with all the commonly used key service layers, key stores and key types to keep existing infrastructure and policies in place. This means faster deployment, lower total cost of ownership and support for existing security investments.

"Defense-in-depth today means adding layers of security, not just to the physical infrastructure like networks and servers, but to the data itself," said Joe Sturonas, PKWARE Chief Technology Officer. "By adopting data-centric security measures, security conscious organizations, like law firms, retail outlets and financial services companies, can be confident their data is protected, regardless of wherever it travels or is shared."

The new platform also serves as an efficient foundation for the latest PKWARE product developments, including the newly available SecureZIP for Mac. This product extends file-level encryption to all Apple devices, enabling organizations to secure data from the mainframe to the Mac. Extended enterprise and personal use capabilities will be released this fall through the iTunes® App Store and directly from PKWARE at pkware.com/software/securezip/mac.
