In order to offer reliable cloud data protection to an expanding market of enterprise businesses and medium-sized businesses, ShardSecure, a market leader in cloud data security and resilience software, has formed a strategic technology alliance with Entrust, a global leader in trusted payments, identities, and digital infrastructure.
 
Data in cloud environments are adequately protected against outages, attacks, and other data compromise scenarios thanks to the ShardSecure-Entrust alliance, which is a part of the Entrust Ready Technology Partner Program. Entrust's security of structured data and ShardSecure's protection of unstructured data combine to form a solid, comprehensive solution that can meet a variety of customer needs.
 
For the ShardSecure engine encryption keys, the integration specifically makes use of Entrust nShield® HSMs with a PKCS #11 interface to ensure exceptionally safe at-rest encryption. This guarantees that the nShield HSM will secure encryption activities like encrypting and decrypting, offering a crucial layer of security for a defense-in-depth strategy.
 
"The ShardSecure alliance exemplifies how Entrust continues to leverage its trusted hardware security module (HSM) technology across a growing range of traditional and state-of-the-art data protection applications like ShardSecure's microsharding. This partnership delivers advanced protection across our joint customer' unstructured and structured data assets," said John Grimm, vice president of Strategic Alliances at Entrust. "Organizations today need to know that their mission-critical data is secure on-premises, in the cloud, and across hybrid deployments. Our partnership ensures robust defense-in-depth protection by establishing a root of trust for the protection of all cryptographic keys underpinning security."
 
The ground-breaking software from ShardSecure mitigates the effects of cloud-based ransomware, facilitates safe cold storage migration, and offers unrivalled file-level security. Companies can retain high availability and strong data resilience even in the face of assaults, outages, and other interruptions because to its self-healing data. The goal of ShardSecure is to retain ownership of data intact while assisting businesses in reducing storage and security expenses.
 
"We're very pleased to be announcing this tech alliance," said Julian Weinberger, ShardSecure Field Chief Technology Officer. "There is a growing need for strong partnerships that address the complexity and breadth of the data security challenges we're facing today, and the ShardSecure-Entrust alliance does just that. The Entrust portfolio of hardware security modules, key management, and cloud security technology, combined with ShardSecure's strong solutions for unstructured data, will bring greater data security and trust to the market. We look forward to growing this partnership in the coming months."
