Kapalya, a Berkeley, California-based cybersecurity startup, has launched a new data protection solution.
The new solution protects sensitive data in-transit and at-rest on public and private clouds, endpoints and mobile, and helps companies comply with GDPR and other regulatory requirements. It allows employees to work on any device while ensuring file safety, coupled with the ability to share encrypted files without exposing keys to their entire data set.
Founded in 2015, Kapalya said it has been developing its software by implementing feedback from various security teams.
Kapalya’s Encryption Management Platform features at-rest and in-transit data encryption, end-to-end encrypted file sharing, and an advanced key management algorithm that destroys keys after the encrypt/decrypt functions.
It also features sophisticated data classification engine auto-detects sensitive data, and zero-knowledge encryption, which masks cloud and corporate admin’s visibility into a user’s data and encryption key.
Kapalya has partnered with cybersecurity company Gemalto and uses Gemalto’s FIPS 140-2 compliant virtual key management server in its platform.
Gemalto’s Todd Moore, senior vice president, encryption products, identity & data protection, said: “Today, most businesses run hybrid IT environments with applications that are on-premise and in the cloud. In addition, most employees have shifted to mobile devices and smartphones as their primary interface to that corporate data.
“As a result, the new perimeter is the actual data itself wherever it is stored and wherever it moves. Gemalto’s broad and proven data encryption and key management portfolio provides the perfect foundation for companies like Kapalya to build and deliver their innovative data security solutions.”
