[May 23, 2012] United Kingdom : CipherCloud Delivers the First Cloud Information Protection Solution for Enterprise Social Networks [TendersInfo (India)] Tweet (TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CipherCloud, the leading provider of cloud information protection gateways for cloud applications and platforms, today unveiled CipherCloud for Chatter, the industry s first cloud information protection solution for enterprise social networking that addresses concerns about data privacy, residency, security, and regulatory compliance requirements. The new solution, announced at Cloudforce London, also provides critical security capabilities without any impact on application performance or the end user experience, and requires no changes to cloud applications. CipherCloud for Chatter will help accelerate the adoption of social business applications, particularly among enterprises that handle sensitive data such as PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and PHI (Personal Health Information), and are subject to regulatory requirements such as GLBA, FISMA, ITAR, PCI, HIPAA, HITECH, EU Data Protection Directives, NPP, and PIPEDA. "Enterprise social networks are a treasure trove of sensitive information. Employees can regularly share information on pending deals, internal company financials, intellectual property and even plans for future products or salary info, said Lawrence Pingree, Research Director, Gartner. Organizations should provide the same level of protection for information in enterprise social networks as they do with their other critical business systems. The ramifications of a breach can be catastrophic." CipherCloud for Chatter encrypts sensitive information in real time, before it's sent to the cloud, using format and operations-preserving encryption that retains all the features and functions of Chatter such as tags, mentions, as well as indexing, searching, and reporting. CipherCloud enables secure access to Chatter from anywhere, including browsers, desktop applications, and mobile devices such as iPhone and iPad. Enterprise social networking applications like Chatter are changing the way business is done. Employees are sharing information at lightning speed. This has accelerated business, but has raised new concerns about protection of sensitive information flowing in and out of the cloud via free form text fields and file attachments, said CipherCloud founder and CEO Pravin Kothari. We are excited about how our new solution will make enterprise social networking a reality for enterprises where IT security and corporate governance policies had previously kept these cloud applications out of reach. The CipherCloud solution is the industry s first and only cloud information protection solution certified as FIPS 197 compliant, so all of an organization s Chatter information is protected using best in class encryption and key management.
