It’s no secret the Cloud brings enormous advantages to companies and the way they interact with data. Cloud environments offer companies the ability to share, store and access data from anywhere on any device at any time. As such, more companies are embracing digital transformation and integrating cloud services to their architecture strategies to enhance business agility, efficiency a new revenue stream, and let’s not forget the cost savings in terms of operations, personnel and technology updates.
To meet these demands, big data centers want to be able to open data access to the Cloud, yet organizations hold sensitive and protected personal information in their databases that they have a responsibility to keep protected, such as PHI (Protected Health Information), PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and GDPR (Global Data Protection Regulation) data that is held within them. Unfortunately, current database systems can encrypt stored data, but this encryption is carried out in a way that anyone (human or machine) that has access to the system at any administration level generally also has access to the plain unencrypted data. This design flaw leaves a “come get me” sign that has led to many diverse organizations becoming victims to data theft and losing millions of dollars.
This puts current data centers at a conundrum – Cloud-based data storage will help facilitate better use and collaboration of data housed, but the sensitive nature of the data and risk of breaching these compliance regulations is challenging adoption.
Security is still the most important concern for customers wanting to give Cloud access to their data stores. Now that we’ve seen how important data security is, what if you flip the switch and provide complete protection of Cloud data storage?
Strong risk management and data integrity systems can help companies avoid breaches and better manage disruption to operations, turning strong data security into a driver not an inhibitor for embracing Cloud environments.
But how does this work?
Enter Secure Storage as a Service. While the market has various related offerings: public Cloud, IaaS, PaaS, etc., secure data storage is not available. BOHH Labs is introducing a Bring your own storage (BYOS) capability which offers databases or specific file security that businesses desperately need. This enables on premise deployments to actively prioritize applications, databases or infrastructure to a lower cost, and secure cloud deployment without impacting user access. Companies can choose which data to store with full knowledge of data confidentiality/ sensitivity.
Our solution removes the sensitive data from the source, storing it separately, enabling prioritization and control over sensitive data storage. This kills the flaws within the current storage market and enables stored data to be securely opened to the Cloud, without putting it at risk of breach, flipping the switch on data security making it a driver, not an inhibitor.
