HighCloud Security, one of those rare cloud security start-ups, is warming up to its subject.
A year ago when it first came to market it was focused on encryption and policy-based key management in the private cloud. It has now moved on to the public cloud in rev 2.0 of its widgetry and figures it could change the way companies buy security. After all, encryption isn’t reserved to the CIA anymore.
It claims its particular brand of magic is the first cloud encryption solution to let enterprises and cloud service providers lock down data across private, hybrid and public clouds.
It’s not something legacy solutions can do; at least not easily; they’re hard to manage and hard to deploy, not to mention expensive. And data security is often the gating factor scaring companies off the cloud.
