A new press release reports, “Virtru, a trusted provider of data privacy and encryption to more than 4,500 organizations around the world, today announced the availability of its Customer Key Server (CKS), which enables enterprises to maintain exclusive access to the encryption keys used to secure their data. As business privacy becomes a top priority for organizations across all industries, the Virtru CKS ensures that only explicitly authorized parties have access to unencrypted content and encryption keys. This configuration allows for maximum security, privacy, and control. According to Gartner, ‘the most important aspect of encryption is good key management, including customer control of the keys.’ Gartner, Inc., Staying Secured in the Cloud is a Shared Responsibility, Steve Riley, April 7, 2016.”

The release continues, “The Virtru CKS combines the company’s award-winning, ease-of-use with a zero-knowledge key and content architecture to provide both best-in-class security and usability that employees and administrators demand. Built on top of Virtru’s popular Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) architecture, the Virtru CKS can be used with any Virtru-enabled application such as Gmail, Outlook and any application integrated with the Virtru software development kit (SDK), such as AODocs and Cloudmigrator. Pre-built Integrations for Google Drive and other cloud storage providers are coming soon. The Virtru CKS may be hosted on customer premises, in a private cloud, or on any public cloud service.”
