An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
CipherStash supplies a database proxy product called CipherStash Proxy that figures out what database columns to encrypt and then encrypts the columns.
Applications access the database using the Proxy, which records what’s being accessed and by whom. he Proxy allows applications to perform plain text searches on the encrypted data.
CipherStash monitors database access and displays access pattern results on a dashboard so customers can select sensitive columns to encrypt. Database access patterns also provide audit and compliance capabilities.
A second product called ZeroKMS automates frequent key rotation and enables record level encryption. If someone steals a key, access is limited to a single record.
CipherStash also records data access so that organizations can identify who accessed what during a breach.
CipherStash currently supports Postgres compliant SQL databases and Amazon Dynamo. Support for other databases is in the works.
The Proxy is deployed in a container in the customer environment.
