What is transparent encryption?
Transparent Encryption protects data by automatically encrypting it without changing how users or applications access it. It secures sensitive information seamlessly and supports compliance.
CipherTrust Transparent Encryption
CipherTrust Transparent Encryption delivers data-at-rest encryption with centralized key management, privileged user access control and detailed data access audit logging. This protects data wherever it resides, on-premises, across multiple clouds and within big data, and container environments.
Deployment is simple, scalable, and fast, with agents installed at the file-system or device layer. Encryption and decryption are transparent to applications, ensuring no changes to business or operational processes—even during rollout. CipherTrust Transparent Encryption (CTE) helps meet compliance and security best practices with minimal effort and cost. It integrates with the FIPS 140-3 Level 3 compliant CipherTrust Manager for centralized key and policy management for the CipherTrust Data Security Platform.
