WAYNE, PA – March 5, 2014 – With security threats multiplying daily, the need to provide clients
with an arsenal of tools for protecting their data has never been greater. IPR International is
pleased to announce a new partnership with leading cloud security and encryption management
provider AFORE Solutions, Inc. that will give IPR’s clients the ability to add Encryption as a Service
(EaaS) as an additional layer of security for their cloud environments.
Using AFORE’s CloudLink encryption platform, clients can choose to layer encryption at multiple
points within their cloud computing stack. Encryption solutions are available at the storage, virtual
machine, file, and application levels and can be deployed and managed from a common
framework. Just last week, AFORE announced the addition of two new CloudLink modules to its
platform, providing even greater deployment flexibility through more granular security controls.
In hybrid and multi-tenant virtualized infrastructures in particular, clients must be able to secure
sensitive data both in order to protect it from external and internal threats and to meet increasingly
stringent regulatory compliance. IPR’s Regulatory-Enforced Cloud solutions already allow its clients
in industries like healthcare and finance to meet the requirements of HIPPA, FINRA, PCI, and
more. This new partnership with AFORE gives IPR’s clients even greater levels of control and
agility, allowing them to confidently embrace the cloud by further dispelling concerns about the
security of their most sensitive data.
“With CloudLink, we can now provide EaaS to secure a broad range of customer initiatives
including hosted virtual desktops, application and database servers, and virtualized storage,” said
Bryan Durr, IPR’s Director of Product Architecture. “Easy customer provisioning and advanced
security options that place key control in our customers’ hands allow us to offer a first-class security
service that will help drive customer confidence and adoption of the cloud.”
“The world has changed and IT needs to adapt to meet a host of new and pervasive threats to
data,” said Jonathan Reeves, Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer at AFORE. “Our focus is to
empower customers with solutions that seamlessly integrate with their virtualization, cloud, and key
management platforms enabling them to have full control over data security while leveraging
existing IT processes.”
“AFORE’s CloudLink enables us to
provide EaaS as a value-added
service on top of our computing and
storage solutions.
