(CSA Guideline 2.0)
What can we do?
Cloud Computing
Virtual Private
SaaS
The Customer Control Concept
VPS: A Revolutionary Concept
Customer is in control of its data privacy
Real-time encryption of sensitive SaaS data
Sensitive data remains encrypted while at rest
SaaS application functionality is unaffected
Out-of-the-box policy configuration
No need to modify the SaaS application
*Patent pending technology
Navajo VPS Use Case
Client sends data to VPS
Step 1: Detect Sensitive Data
Step 2: Encrypt Sensitive Data
Step 3: Send Encrypted DataStep 4: Store Encrypted DataStep 5: Receive Data from App
Encrypted Data Customer name : eso01992
Social security no : add3441asdadE-mail : [email protected]
Address : edqew213adaParent account : adcae87asf
Credit card no : adwew.edwe.eqe.qeqePhone no : 432-2424-242-234
Step 7: Decrypt and Present Data Step 6: Detect Encrypted Data
Step 8: Search and Query Data
Real-time Encryption of Sensitive SaaS Data:
1. Contacts
2. Accounts
3. Reports
SaaS application functionality is unaffected
1. Search for data
