Randtronics DPM easyCipher

No-code TDE protecting databases, files stores and laptops

Transparent Data Encryption

Randronics DPM easyCipher providers Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) lock-box protection to files, folders and databases. Protection is ‘transparent’ as contents are automatically decrypted for authorised users. Like a lock-box, TDE protected objects are either locked or unlocked.

DPM easyCipher is centrally managed, policy-based encryption management solution that allows an organization to standardize its encryption protection by defining and managing encryption policies and applying these policies to any server or laptop where a DPM easyCipher agent has been installed.

DPM easyCipher protects all files and folders on servers or laptops. Server environments protected by DPM easyCipher include database servers, web/app servers and file servers.

When installed on database servers, DPM easyCipher can either extend or replace database-native TDE (i.e. TDE solutions provided by database vendors to secure their own DB products):

Customers already using database-native TDE protection, use easyCipher to protect information residing outside of the database;
Customers with databases that lack database-native TDE protection simply use easyCipher to protect all files including multi-vendor databases.

TDE, protecting structured data and more...

DPM easyCipher makes it quick and easy to implement encryption right across your organization:

TDE protection for entire server contents;
like database-native TDE, easyCipher protects structured data within databases from unauthorized access;
unlike database-native TDE,
- protection also covers DB log files, copies of SQL queries and other materials that may contain echos and traces of the sensitive data contained within the database,
- copies of sensitive data residing on web/app servers, file servers or laptops are also protected wherever DPM easyCipher agents are deployed,
- responsibility for encryption management is centralized and out of the hands of DBA teams;
DPM easyCipher generates and manages encryption keys for all DPM easyCipher agents under its control;
DPM easyCipher protects the whole database environment providing additional protection in the event of a compromised DBA or System Admin account.

TDE and beyond...

For customers with basic TDE encryption requirements, DPM easyCipher is available as standalone solution.

Customers also have the flexibility of combining DPM easyCipher with other components from the Randtronics DPM product suite to address more complex requirements:

DPM Product Suite

Enterprise Key Management – deploying DPM easyCipher with DPM easyKey enables organizations to:

completely isolate encryption key administration from other roles;
centrally manage keys derived from clusters of multi-vendor HSM;
comply with key use and storage data-sovereignty obligations.

Field-Level Data Protection (FLP) – deploying DPM easyCipher, DPM easyKey and DPM easyData enables organizations to:

implement fine-grained and sophisticated data-privacy control over database contents – in contrast to the lock-box protection provided by TDE, FLP enables organizations to protect data from authorized users;
define and control policies to determine how sensitive data-types are presented to different applications and users;
implement the full range of field-level protections including column-level encryption, tokenization, masking, anoymization over any database or flat-file.
