Protegrity Data Security Platform and Cloud Gateway Win Gold and Bronze in Info Security Products Guide's 2015 Global Excellence Awards


STAMFORD, CT--(Marketwired - Apr 23, 2015) -  Protegrity announced today that Info Security Products Guide, a leading information security research and advisory publication, has named two of the company's data-centric enterprise data security solutions as winners in the 2015 Global Excellence Awards competition.

The Protegrity Data Security Platform (v6.5.2) was selected as a Gold Winner in the "Best Security Software" category and as a Bronze Winner in the "Security Products and Solutions for Large Enterprises" category. In addition, the Protegrity Cloud Gateway was named as a Bronze Winner in the "New Products and Services" category.

The Protegrity Data Security Platform leverages scalable, data-centric protection methods including Protegrity Vaultless Tokenization (PVT), format-preserving encryption, strong encryption, masking, and monitoring to secure sensitive information while maintaining data usability. The Enterprise Security Administrator (ESA) provides central control of policy, key management, auditing and reporting. Built for complex, heterogeneous business environments, the Protegrity Data Security Platform provides unprecedented levels of data security certified across applications, data warehouses, mainframes, big data, and cloud environments.

The Protegrity Cloud Gateway, a cloud access security broker (CASB) launched earlier this year, protects sensitive data before it gets to the cloud, giving organizations the ability to rapidly adopt software-as-a-service solutions such as Box, Salesforce, Xactly and Planisware by extending to the cloud the same trusted technology and unique policies used to protect their core on premise systems. Data can be encrypted or tokenized using a no-code, configurable interface without impacting business processes or sacrificing the functionality and features of their SaaS solutions.

"Protegrity's singular focus is to develop and deliver solutions that protect data throughout its lifecycle without getting in the way of business," said Protegrity CEO Suni Munshani. "So it is very rewarding to have both our core product, the Protegrity Data Security Platform, as well as our latest innovation, the Protegrity Cloud Gateway, recognized by the industry through these awards."

More than 50 judges from a broad spectrum of industry voices from around the world participated and their average scores determined the 2015 Global Excellence Awards Finalists and Winners. Winners were announced earlier this week during the awards dinner and presentation in San Francisco attended by the finalists, judges and industry peers.
