Cloud Data Protection Report: Information Security Firm Eosensa Analyzes Cloud Data Protection Capabilities In New Industry Report

2012-08-02

TORONTO ---- Eosensa, a leading information security professional services firm, today announced the availability of a new report that provides critical insights to enterprises that are seeking ways to ensure the security and data-privacy protection for their sensitive data being stored and processed in public cloud environments. The report, entitled “Protecting Sensitive Data In The Cloud,” is available as a free download from eosensa.com. Data Privacy, Compliance, and IT Security professionals will find valuable information in the report that will assist them in designing and implementing the appropriate data protection strategies for their organizations.

As Security, Privacy and Risk professionals work with their business line partners to enable their companies to take advantage of cloud-based SaaS applications, they face a number of significant challenges. Issues such as Data Residency, which specifies that sensitive data needs to remain within specified geographic location, or compliance mandates such as those seen in ITAR, HIPAA and PCI DSS, which require certain data types to be protected in specific ways, make the move to the cloud a complicated proposition in many instances.

As recently reported in NetWork World, Gartner analyst John Pescatore stated that "as you move out to cloud-based models, there are some things you can trust your cloud provider with, but for critical business data and regulation-controlled information, very rarely is the infrastructure going to be enough." With this in mind, Eosensa took a critical look at the capabilities that should be considered and evaluated by enterprises that need to safeguard information that is being processed or stored in the cloud and reports on them in their most recent analysis.

“As the demand for cloud applications inside the enterprise continues to rise, Privacy and IT Security professionals need to create a new set of policies that ensure their organizations are using cloud applications in a compliant and controlled fashion,” said Julius Azarcon, Managing Director and Co-Founder, Eosensa. “In the report we discuss the merits of different data protection approaches, such as tokenization and encryption technologies, suggest a list of important data security criteria for organizations to consider, and provide a high-level assessment of the capabilities of vendors in the space, including PerspecSys Inc., Ciphercloud, and Voltage Securities.”
