to streamline security and regulatory compliance across the edge, core
and cloud
AUSTIN, Texas (BUSINESS WIRE) Pivot3 ,
the hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) performance and technology
leader, today announced new policy-based security management
capabilities in its core Intelligence Engine. These expanded
capabilities allow organizations to automate and simplify the process of
protecting sensitive data with comprehensive, standards-based security
for encryption and key management. Pivot3’s new platform enhancements
also facilitate regulatory compliance as customers acquire and manage
data across the edge, core and cloud.
“With security threats on the rise and regulations around data security
increasing, CIOs and CISOs face new challenges as they seek to protect
sensitive, mission-critical data without compromising performance,” said
John Spiers, vice president of strategy at Pivot3. “Customers rely on us
every day to simplify management at scale. This extension of Pivot3’s
Intelligence Engine brings new confidence to IT in knowing that data can
be secured and protected as it moves across the entire hybrid cloud
infrastructure.”
Pivot3’s Intelligence Engine enhances application performance, data
placement, data protection, and monitoring and analytics, enabling
customers to confidently consolidate multiple, mixed-application
workloads on HCI while reducing time, cost and complexity. The addition
of automated, policy-based security management capabilities to the
Pivot3 Intelligence Engine enables customers to implement easy to use
policies to seamlessly integrate data encryption and key management into
the same workflow for managing applications and storage.
To address the increased regulation and compliance requirements, the new
capability includes flexible, secure multi-tenancy and data-at-rest
encryption at a system, volume or virtual machine level, compliant with
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2. Pivot3 designed
its data encryption algorithms to leverage Intel Xeon CPUs AES New
Instructions (AES NI) to ensure minimal performance impact and low
overhead. Key management is integrated into the new security policies
and supports the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP)
standards to provide broad support of key managers.
As part of its security portfolio, Pivot3 offers HyTrust KeyControl,
which is integrated seamlessly with Pivot3’s policy-based security
management. This enables enterprises to easily manage all encryption
keys at scale, including how often keys are rotated and how they are
shared securely.
“With the growth of hyperconverged infrastructure and the expectation
that enterprises will increasingly have mixed workload environments, it
is essential to employ key management as an integral part of securing
the infrastructure,” said Eric Chiu, Co-Founder and President of
HyTrust. “Pivot3’s Intelligence Engine will further simplify security
management for enterprises and extend the industry preference for
HyTrust KeyControl in a world where data must be secured no matter where
it resides.”
“As organizations evolve to address emerging security threats and
changing regulations, automation and intelligence become key ingredients
in maintaining a secure infrastructure across the edge, core and cloud,”
said Tim Stammers,senior analyst at 451 Group. “By adding policy-based
security management features to its Intelligence Engine, Pivot3 is
simplifying the process of protecting sensitive and mission-critical
data and enabling customers to progress toward a software-defined
datacenter.”
Pivot3’s policy-based security management will be available in Acuity
version 10.6 before the end of the year. For more information, please
