Thales CipherTrust Data Security Platform
By Thales
A unified encryption and key management platform combining transparent data encryption, tokenization, and centralized key lifecycle management across on-prem, cloud, and big-data environments, formed by consolidating the previously separate Vormetric and SafeNet/KeySecure product lines Thales acquired in 2016 and 2019. Luna hardware security modules provide the FIPS-validated storage underneath.
