These offerings can enhance cloud security by letting customers store and manage keys in central appliances and provide controls to make the experience even secure and safe. Also, the solutions enabling controlling encryption keys and data for organisations as well as give access to administrators to manage keys, permissions and policies centrally.
“Solutions such as SafeNet KeySecure and connectors enable IT teams to reduce cost, increase efficiency and create operational consistency across cloud environments,” said Mark Lohmeyer, vice president of products for the cloud platform business unit, VMware.

To achieve mass adoption, the Amsterdam, Netherlands-based company has already integrated the portfolio with over 400 environments.
“Our current marketing strategy is an ecosystem or partner driven approach,” says Rana Gupta, vice president of APAC sales — identity and data protection, Gemalto. “The development is compelling to building long-term and rewarding relationships with our customers and these experiences by our customers encourage our partners to recommend our solution for any enterprise data protection requirements that come their way.”
