Privafy – Redefining how Data-in-Motion is protected by eliminating deployment complexity and slash expenses

Data-in-motion has rapidly become the most vulnerable part of every organization’s information and communication architecture. As organizations embrace the openness of the Internet and move data and applications to the cloud, traditional network security technologies and systems are no longer effective in protecting data as it moves between cloud workloads and applications. The Internet is now the new network – affording businesses and employees to easily connect with customers, partners, and each other from any location. But as data traverses between locations – it’s increasingly at risk from a multitude of vectors and threat actors.

Privafy’s security-as-a-service application secures data wherever it travels. The company’s cloud-native technology integrates all the functionality of traditional point solutions, such as encryption, firewall, DDoS protection, IDS/IPS and DLP technology, to provide comprehensive data protection as it moves between locations, clouds, mobile devices, and IoT. Deployed in minutes, Privafy works seamlessly with existing infrastructure to protect organizations of all sizes against today’s most damaging data-centric attacks, all while disrupting the cost associated with complex, archaic network solutions.

A Complete Data-in-Motion Security Stack

Privafy is a cloud-native, security-as-a-service solution that provides the ‘must-have’ capabilities a next-generation security service requires. With clone-proof endpoints and a fundamentally new encryption scheme, Privafy enables inbound/outbound controls and policy enforcement (including compute-intensive tasks like content inspection without any application-level impacts). Privafy solutions provide comprehensive data protection in all of today’s distinct user modalities, as data moves between locations, clouds, mobile and IoT devices at the edge.

Cloud-Native: Privafy’s cloud-native application simplifies security to protect your business from Data-in-Motion threats – all in a single integrated solution.

Affordable: Privafy’s pay-per-use security-as-a-service model requires very low capital expenditures – in fact at a fraction of the cost of traditional point solutions. No need for dedicated staff for provisioning, patching, and updating point solutions that leave room for costly human errors.

Easy-to-Deploy: Privafy’s simple interface enables central management of all your Privafy deployments, monitor critical insights, threat alerts, and security trends. It offers a single dashboard to define enforcement points and policies for all your locations, devices, and cloud applications using intuitive business rules.

Robust Security-as-a-Service Offered

CarrierEdge: Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) is a multibillion market opportunity for carriers and Internet service providers – provided they can deliver convenient, comprehensive security services at the right price point. With CarrierEdge, they can. CarrierEdge delivers a complete security solution that sits at the network edge, providing full security services to network subscribers without requiring any client-side hardware or software. Subscribers simply activate the service on their devices, and CarrierEdge immediately begins protecting their data-in-motion will full encryption, advanced security services and customer-specific policy enforcement. CarrierEdge features a unique data privacy architecture that protects carriers and their customers from data breaches and information theft. Because customers retain control of their privacy keys in this architecture, carriers never “see” customer data as it passes through their network. And because carriers don’t store the customer’s data, they don’t need to take the costly measures to protect a customer’s data at rest.

CloudEdge: With Privafy CloudEdge, your business can connect to any cloud, physical work environments, or mobile devices with confidence, control access to critical applications and data in the cloud, and enforce security policies consistently as your data moves between the cloud and on-premise environments. And because CloudEdge automates these security services, manual errors are virtually eliminated. Privafy CloudEdge is a cloud-native Security-as-a-Service solution that ensures secure connectivity between the cloud and your business—even if users are accessing your cloud applications from a non-secure network. As enterprises migrate their on-premises workloads in the cloud or add resiliency with cloud data centers, CloudEdge allows them to maintain secure connectivity between the two locations. CloudEdge allows the carriers and ISPs that provide business security services to provide end-to-end security for their users/subscribers. In a clientless deployment, Privafy CarrierEdge, hosted in the service provider’s distribution hubs, can direct traffic to CloudEdge using Absolute Encryption™ to the enterprise cloud/physical data centers.

AppEdge: With more people than ever working from home, enterprises must adopt a zero-trust network stance. AppEdge allows enterprises to secure data-in-motion on mobile and fixed devices beyond their corporate firewall with a simple, powerful security app. With AppEdge, workers can easily establish a secure, encrypted connection to the corporate network or hosted/private cloud from any device: smartphones, laptops, tablets, desktops, and more. AppEdge protects business communications by establishing a secure point-to-point connection between Privafy CloudEdge and any authorized mobile/remote device. Multifactor authentication ensures that only authorized AppEdge users can establish a connection with their business’ network or cloud environment. Enterprise network policies are enforced during the connection to prevent users from accessing unauthorized files. With enterprise-class security features such as content inspection, AppEdge prevents users from accidentally or intentionally transmitting malicious traffic while they’re connected to a network. AppEdge integrates easily with Active Directory to allow enterprises to enforce role-based access controls for a large, distributed workforce.

NetEdgeConnect: The network perimeter as they knew it has disappeared. Now, with more people working from home, the line between work and home, personal and business, is also disappearing. As data-in-motion is exposed to more places, on more devices, and through more applications, the ability to consistently and flexibly apply security policies is critical. And that’s where NetEdgeConnect can help. One-size-fits-all security doesn’t work in today’s world. They have different roles, devices, and security policies in homes and businesses. NetEdgeConnect automatically detects each user and device in the network and applies the right security policies based on those identities.
