Aperio CI Introduces Unique Data Encryption Tool to Enable Cloud
Computing for the Most Data-Privacy Sensitive Industries
Encrypts the Most Sensitive Data with the Highest Degree of Privacy Protection
Runs on Netezza Appliances
Ronkonkoma, NY, June 21, 2010 - Aperio CI, the experts in data management, today announced that they have designed and built a unique data encryption tool that supports their cloud computing solution that is hosted on Netezza’s appliances. The data encryption tool solves the issue of protecting sensitive data while using cloud computing.
Aperio created the cloud computing solution to support massive scale processing and analytical processes that run infrequently such as weekly or monthly. The unique data encryption tool allows clients to encrypt only the sensitive pieces of data (credit card number, account numbers, phone numbers, etc.) with a very high degree of privacy protection to enable cloud computing for most data privacy sensitive industries.
The way it works is, the client identifies the sensitive data fields to be encrypted. Utilizing Aperio CI’s encryption software, they encrypt the data prior to sending it to the Aperio CI cloud. The Aperio CI encryption tool provides a one-time cipher which has billions of combinations, so each combination is only used once. The Aperio CI cloud processes the data in its encrypted format and never sees the unencrypted data. Once the information is processed, Aperio sends it back to the client who then unencrypts the data using a unique key created by the client during the encryption process.
Aperio’s cloud computing solution with data encryption tool runs on Netezza’s appliances.
"By providing our clients with cloud-based solutions running on Netezza’s appliances, it allows us to provide them with more cost-effective solutions", said Duffy Mich, Chief Executive Officer of Aperio CI. "Using the former model, they would pay for hardware that might only be used a few times per month. This way, they pay only for the capacity they need, when they need it. Other clients will be able to use the same technology, so the share of the costs gets spreads out amongst all users. By developing this unique encryption tool, we solved the cloud computing issue of processing highly sensitive data that requires a high degree of privacy protection."
