Vormetric Transparent Encryption protects both structured and unstructured data, helping organizations add an additional layer of security to their workloads within the IBM Cloud. The solution provides:

• Encryption and Key Management – strong, centrally managed, file and volume encryption combined with simple, centralized key management that enables compliance and is transparent to processes, applications and users.
• Access Policies and Privileged User Controls – that restrict access to encrypted data – permitting data to be decrypted only for authorized users and applications, while allowing privileged users to perform IT operations without ability to see protected information.
• Security Intelligence – logs that capture access attempts to protected data, providing high value security intelligence information that can be used with a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution and for compliance reporting.

The IBM Cloud marketplace offers clients access to more than 100 SaaS applications, IBM's Bluemix platform-as-a-service with its suite of composable services, the powerful SoftLayer infrastructure-as-a-service and IBM's rich intellectual capital and deep industry expertise. This single online destination with a suite of cloud services delivers a new buying experience for clients that enables line of business professionals to deploy new services faster; allows developers to build them with greater speed; and offers IT departments more creative, efficient and lower-cost ways to deliver these services.

"Our goal is to offer organizations the most innovative data security technology whenever and wherever required," said C.J. Radford, VP of Cloud for Vormetric.
