Free trial for cloud-based encryption and secure key management on AWS

SafeNet announced a thirty-day free trial of its ProtectV virtual encryption solutions and Virtual KeySecure via AWS Marketplace on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Financial services, health care organizations, information services, enterprises and high tech businesses can now run full production-level proofs of concept for a full month with no cost using SafeNet’s cloud-based encryption solutions while maintaining control and compliance.

ProtectV and Virtual KeySecure are currently available on AWS Marketplace. ProtectV is an encryption solution for virtual instances and Virtual KeySecure is a hardened software appliance that manages and securely stores the encryption keys for ProtectV.

SafeNet’s encryption and key management solutions provide customers with high levels of data protection for sensitive data, whether in the cloud or on-premises. Combining the flexibility of the AWS cloud and strength of SafeNet’s encryption offerings creates a convenient solution for customers to optimize the level of security required for even the most critical workloads.

“Organizations have recognized that encryption and strong key management are essential to illustrating control and compliance for high value information in the cloud, but might not have known how to get started,” said David Etue, vice president, corporate development strategy, SafeNet. “With free trials of SafeNet offerings in the AWS Marketplace, we’ve made it simple for customers to see how easy it is to deploy a robust cloud encryption framework.”

The trial is for a full thirty days, when customers sign-up between January 9, 2014 and April 1, 2014, and will be available on AWS Marketplace. After the thirty-day trial, ProtectV and Virtual KeySecure can be converted to an hourly or monthly pricing model on AWS Marketplace, depending on which option the customer has selected.
