Virtru, a leading provider of data-centric security and privacy solutions, has launched the Virtru Private Keystore.
This new encryption key management solution enables businesses to have complete control over their cloud-hosted data, ensuring that their information remains completely private and secure from cloud providers. The Virtru Private Keystore is now available for Google Workspace, Google Cloud, and all Virtru products.
The Virtru Private Keystore offers businesses a straightforward way to encrypt their cloud data and store the keys separately from their cloud provider. Google’s rapid expansion of Client-Side Encryption for Google Workspace and customer-managed encryption keys for Google Cloud highlights the increasing importance of privacy-preserving technology. As a recommended private encryption key management partner of Google, Virtru supports these initiatives.
Regulatory requirements continue to become more stringent worldwide. The Virtru Private Keystore helps businesses comply with data sovereignty obligations and regulations such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
The Virtru Private Keystore can be deployed in a public or private cloud, private or co-hosted data center, and supports hardware security modules (HSM) with additional support for HSM Proxy Connector. It also supports the full suite of Virtru products, including Virtru for Microsoft Outlook 365, Virtru for Gmail, Virtru Secure Share, and Virtru Data Protection Gateway, and is a trusted solution for Google Workspace Client-Side Encryption (CSE) and Google Cloud External Key Manager (EKM).
Maki People, a Paris-based HR tech firm, trusts Virtru as its key management solution provider for Google Cloud. According to Benjamin Chino, CPO and Co-Founder of Maki People, “The Virtru Private Keystore is super seamless… From a customer standpoint, it really makes a difference – they now feel that they’re much more in control and that Google will not be able to access their data.”
Bill Bauman, Product Marketing at Virtru, said, “Our customers choose Virtru because our products are easy to use and integrate seamlessly with the apps they work in every day… The Virtru Private Keystore simplifies key management for our customers and runs seamlessly in the background. It adds policies to the keys and has audit capabilities, ensuring everyone can collaborate confidently in the cloud while having the final decision over who can access their data.”
