Q & A

  • What is the primary purpose of VOR metric data security platform?

    -The primary purpose of the VOR metric data security platform is to secure sensitive data across all environments, including physical, virtual, cloud, and Big Data, while simplifying implementation and management through a centralized infrastructure.

  • How has the adoption of encryption changed according to the Ponemon Institute's research?

    -Research from the Ponemon Institute shows that the adoption of encryption has increased significantly as it addresses more security objectives. The most common reasons for using encryption include fulfilling privacy commitments and compliance mandates.

  • What are the main reasons organizations use encryption, according to the script?

    -Organizations primarily use encryption to fulfill privacy commitments, comply with regulations, protect their reputation, and mitigate the damage caused by security breaches.

  • What is one of the challenges IT and security teams face due to the increased use of encryption?

    -A significant challenge for IT and security teams is managing multiple, disjointed encryption technologies. Over 70% of organizations are working with five or more encryption solutions, creating complexity, inefficiency, and higher costs.

  • How does VOR metric address the complexity of managing multiple encryption tools?

    -VOR metric simplifies encryption management by offering a unified data security platform that consolidates various encryption capabilities under a single infrastructure, allowing for centralized control and management.

  • What are the key benefits of using VOR metric transparent encryption?

    -VOR metric transparent encryption provides file-level encryption, access control, and security intelligence. It also allows organizations to encrypt data without requiring significant changes to existing infrastructure.

  • How does VOR metric application encryption enhance data protection?

    -VOR metric application encryption secures sensitive data in specific database fields or columns. It helps meet compliance mandates and safeguards data across its lifecycle, ensuring protection during storage, transit, and even in the case of SQL injection attacks.

  • What controls does VOR metric provide to protect sensitive data from privileged users?

    -VOR metric offers controls that prevent privileged users, such as database and cloud administrators, from accessing sensitive data. Even if they try to exploit credentials, the platform's encryption ensures unauthorized access is blocked.

  • How does VOR metric help organizations meet compliance mandates like PCI DSS?

    -VOR metric application encryption reduces the scope of compliance requirements like PCI DSS by encrypting sensitive data. This ensures that, even in the event of a data breach, attackers cannot access or use the stolen information.

  • What kind of visibility does VOR metric provide to security teams regarding data access?

    -VOR metric provides detailed logs of user activity, such as who attempted access, whether access was granted, location, applied policies, and actions taken. This visibility helps security teams detect and respond to advanced persistent threats (APTs) and insider threats more effectively.
