Thales CipherTrust Transparent Encryption

Thales CipherTrust Transparent Encryption delivers high-performance data-at-rest encryption, privileged user access controls, and detailed security intelligence logging for files, volumes, and databases across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. Operating at the operating system file system or volume layer, it protects sensitive enterprise data without requiring code alterations to underlying business applications, database structures, or existing operational management workflows.

The solution deploys lightweight encryption agents across diverse operating system hosts, including Windows, Linux, and AIX, managed centrally through Thales CipherTrust Manager across on-premises and multi-cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It integrates with enterprise SIEM platforms, container architectures like Docker and OpenShift, and identity directories to enforce strict access rules and log all file access events. Common organizational use cases include securing databases like Oracle and SQL Server, preventing system administrators from viewing confidential payload data, protecting cloud storage volumes, and satisfying regulatory data encryption mandates.

With Thales CipherTrust Transparent Encryption, organizations maintain continuous data protection while preserving application performance through hardware-accelerated cryptographic processing. Granular access controls ensure that even privileged system administrators cannot view encrypted business records without explicit authorization. The platform simplifies compliance audits for standards like HIPAA and PCI DSS, prevents unauthorized data exposure, and hardens enterprise servers against insider and external threats.
