Providing Advanced Privileged User Access Control, Policy Enforcement, Forensic and Automated Compliance: HyTrust

HyTrust was founded by veterans in the enterprise infrastructure and security space that recognized early on not only that virtualization and the cloud were going to dramatically transform the data center, but also that security would be a critical inhibitor to cloud adoption.

The mission behind HyTrust has always been to mitigate the risk of catastrophic data center failure and data breaches — especially in light of the concentration of risk that occurs within virtualized and cloud environments. Organizations can now confidently expand virtualization to mission-critical applications and take full advantage of the cloud.

HyTrust has assembled a world-class team of company builders and innovators and has earned backing from the biggest players in the next-generation data center: Cisco, VMware, Intel, Fortinet, and In-Q-Tel, the funding arm of the US intelligence community.

HyTrust technology has been widely deployed by Global 2000 companies and top government agencies, with a strong market presence in financial services, healthcare, and government verticals.
