Problem
Traditional data security measures often fail to protect against insider threats and compromised servers, leaving sensitive data vulnerable to breaches. Perimeter defenses and permission management systems can be bypassed once an attacker gains access to an administrator account. This is especially problematic for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and subject to compliance regulations like HIPAA, FISMA, and NIST.
Solution
Tera Insights' tiCrypt is a data security software that utilizes end-to-end encryption and public-key cryptography to ensure data confinement and protect against unauthorized access, even in the event of server compromise or insider threats. tiCrypt encrypts data at the earliest stage and decrypts it as late as possible, with encryption keys controlled by the user, not stored on the server. This approach ensures that even if a server is breached, the data remains secure. tiCrypt also provides secure virtual machines with encrypted drives and secure channels for communication, enabling secure data processing and analysis. The system is designed to meet compliance requirements and provides detailed auditing and monitoring capabilities.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes researchers, universities, medical centers, national labs, and organizations handling sensitive data, particularly those subject to compliance regulations such as HIPAA, FISMA, and NIST.
