Sangeeta Anand, general manager and corporate vice president, data protection business unit, SafeNet, Inc.: “The security of mission-critical application data in shared multi-tenant clouds or virtual machines is a concern for companies that want to virtualise or move these production applications to the cloud. SafeNet solves this problem with the introduction of ProtectV, a comprehensive virtual machine and cloud data security solution. By using ProtectV with VMware vCenter™ (4.1x) and VMware vShield™, customers can protect high-value data by combining access control and crypto-production at scale. Now customers can move their mission-critical applications to private, public, or hybrid clouds while retaining full ownership and control over their high-value data.”
