Thales announced a partnership with Intel for the Google Cloud services. The company calls this a ‘leap forward’ in data security as enchanted security will secure data during rest, transit, and use.
As the number of enterprises relying on cloud services for their data grows each year, those systems are getting targeted more often for malicious intent. Consequently, safeguarding sensitive data and associated workloads when stored or in use is an increasing priority, especially for highly regulated industries such as financial services and healthcare. Thales claims that this partnership with Intel and Google Cloud ‘provides certifiable controls for enterprises to fully protect their data end-to-end’.
Purnam Sheth, Vice President and General Manager: Trust and Security Products, SATG at Intel:
