London: Liaison Technologies, a global provider of secure cloud-based integration and data managementservices and solutions, has announced the 3.0 release of Protect Key Manager data security solution. Built on the OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP), Liaison’s Protect Key Manager offers businesses a comprehensive solution for enterprise certificate management. New features include quorum-based administration as a mechanism for enforcing reliable and secure key management, and built-in back-up for keys in the event of disaster. Key Manager is part of Liaison’s award-winningsuite of enterprise data security solutions.
According to the Aberdeen Group, organisations with encryption initiatives involving enterprise key management achieved an annual cost savings of nearly $100 (approximately £66) per end-user compared to those that had no key management capabilities. The same report found that key management systems significantly improved an organisation’s ability to support encryption in greater diversity and at a higher scale.
Liaison’s new Key Manager provides comprehensive security and threat mitigation and greater cost savings based on a streamlined enterprise key management system. Support for OASIS KMIP significantly improves client interoperability and configuration usability, enabling Liaison customers to utilise Key Manager from nonproprietary clients while consolidating their key management initiatives into a single enterprise system.
“The inspiration for Key Manager 3.0 came directly from customers, and is a testament to the value they are getting from this component of our data security suite,” said Robert Fox,
Liaison Technologies’ senior director of software development. “Trying to comply with a wide array of regulatory requirements and protecting highly sensitive information can be a daunting task. Our decision to adopt OASIS KMIP for Key Manager demonstrates Liaison’s commitment to providing the most flexible, scalable, and agnostic key management solution based on the latest industry standards.”
