LONDON (UK): Voltage Security®, the leading expert in data-centric encryption and tokenization, today announced significant enhancements to Voltage SecureData z/Protect™ that make it easy to implement and manage data protection on z/OS, natively and with full interoperability with other Voltage SecureData™ components. The new Voltage SecureData z/Protect continues the evolution of Voltage’s native z/OS solution, adding advanced features requested by customers engaged in some of the largest data protection projects in the world.
While traditional data protection solutions entail massive code updates, Voltage SecureData z/Protect leaves most applications unaltered, and the few changes required consist of a single line of code. With z/Protect, Voltage SecureData offers the widest mainframe, midrange, and open systems platform support available for data protection.
“The mainframe continues to be a key element of IT infrastructure in large enterprises, and with the rise in data breaches, the urgency to protect data throughout the entire ecosystem is ever-increasing,” said Phil Smith III, mainframe architect, Voltage Security."
Voltage SecureData z/Protect provides Voltage Format-Preserving Encryption™ (FPE) and Voltage Secure Stateless Tokenization™ (SST), breakthrough technologies that make encryption and tokenization dramatically easier for any application, in any z/OS environment. With FPE and SST, data size and character set do not change when data is protected.
In this new release, native, dynamic data masking increases application security and control by allowing administrative control over protected data. Role-based access to data enables the full credit card or Social Security number to be revealed to an authorized user, while another user, such as a call center agent, will only see the last four digits of the number in the clear. Another new feature, token multiplexing, enables generation of distinct tokens for multiple lines of business.
