Wave Launches Cloud-Based Encryption Management Service for Centralized Data Protection
January 2012 by Marc Jacob
Wave Systems Corp. has launched Wave Encryption Service (WES), a scalable, yet powerful subscription-based service for data protection. Able to be deployed quickly and managed efficiently on demand, Wave’s new service allows organizations to centrally enforce strong data encryption policies on laptops across the organization to secure data and meet compliance regulations — without the complexity and cost associated with an on-premise solution.
WES manages a variety of client encryption solutions, including folder-level software encryption and Microsoft Bitlocker®. Notably, WES is the only Cloud-based service for managing Opal self-encrypting drives (SEDs), which offer security and performance benefits over other forms of encryption.
The service has earned favorable marks from one of its first customers. Salisbury Bank deployed the service in late 2011 for laptops used by the sales force and executive team. Salisbury Bank is a full-service community bank headquartered in Northwestern Connecticut, with locations in Western Massachusetts and in New York.
