Sheffield, United Kingdom – July 1, 2009 – Safestone, the world’s leading provider of IBM System i security solutions, announced today a business partnership with nuBridges, the secure eBusiness authority and provider of solutions that protect sensitive data at rest and/or in transit on the System i. This partnership expands Safestone’s security offerings and provides its customers with advanced tools for meeting compliance standards for mandates such as the Payment Card Industry’s Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and HIPAA.
Safestone provides System i shops with tools to control the way users access data on the System i, including auditing user access and enforcing IT security policies that protect sensitive data from theft. Safestone’s DetectIT security solutions are used by organizations worldwide to meet audit requirements for data security standards. The addition of nuBridges Protect™ provides Safestone customers with advanced options for protecting and managing sensitive data on System i and other platforms while making the compliance process much easier and more cost effective.
“The IBM i community is important to us and we appreciate the opportunity to partner with security solution experts like Safestone, who specialize in the platform and can provide enterprises with optimal solutions and counsel for their specific needs,” said Kim Addington, nuBridges Chief Marketing Officer. “The addition of nuBridges Protect to Safestone’s product portfolio provides IBM i-centric organizations with the strong encryption, unified encryption key management, logging and universal Format Preserving Tokenization™ solution they need to protect credit card and other sensitive corporate and customer information across the enterprise thereby easily complying with data security mandates and privacy laws.”
Safestone understands the impact standards such as PCI DSS have on IT infrastructures. The company recently released a complimentary assessment tool that assists organizations preparing to meet PCI DSS audit requirements,. Now with the addition of nuBridges Protect to its solution offerings , Safestone can address System i data encryption needs specific to PCI DSS.
“nuBridges is a respected leader in the System i community for encryption solutions and this partnership expands our commitment to System i shops to provide only the best security solutions for the platform,” said Terry Heath, Safestone COO. “With nuBridges Protect, we can now provide our customers with a comprehensive way to encrypt data as it moves across networks and also address a specific PCI DSS requirement.”
Protecting data at rest and in motion through encryption is not just a requirement for PCI DSS compliance it is also a best practice for ensuring that customer and company confidential data stays secure. Because encrypted data can only be accessed by authorized employees using a secure key, encryption provides an extra layer of data security for System i shops that already have network access and internal access controls in place. With this level of security, organizations can assure their customers and employees that the sensitive information entrusted to them is protected from both theft and accidental loss.
