Runtime Encryption ®

Platform

Best Encryption Solution

Runtime Encryption ® is a new level

of security which allows firms with sensi- tive workloads to operate in untrust- ed environments such as the public cloud and remote clouds .

Encryption is an effective data protec- tion control , however it s use is current- ly limited to data at rest and data in motion .

Runtime encryption provides de- terministic security with

hard- ware-aided memory encryption for applications to protect data in use .

Through optimization of the

Trusted

Computing Base ( TCB ), it enables en- crypted data to be processed in mem- ory without exposing it to the rest of the system which reduces the risks to sensitive data and provides

greater control and transparency for us- ers . The holy grail of security has been to offer deterministic security to appli- cations regardless of how the attacks originate .

Runtime Encryption ® provides de- terministic security with runtime memory encryption for applications to protect data in use .
