AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gazzang, Inc., the company securing data in the cloud, today announced availability of packaged support for PostgreSQL 8.x and 9.x open source databases in its ezNcrypt flagship data security platform. The release adds Gazzang’s Transparent Data Encryption for PostgreSQL to existing support for MySQL databases, and is now available for download here.
Gazzang ezNcrypt for Databases™ enables customers to protect, encrypt and provide key management for open source databases using transparent data encryption features traditionally reserved for more expensive, complex commercial databases. The solution installs within minutes, providing out-of-the-box data protection that eliminates the need for costly, complex changes to databases and applications, and leverages an advanced key management system where the keys are never stored on the same server with the data to be encrypted.
Starting as low as $49.99 per month, ezNcrypt for Databases delivers enterprise-class data security capabilities that include:
- Support for AES, Twofish and Blowfish encryption algorithms
- Data file encryption that prevents access from the operating system
- Low performance overhead (typically less than 1%)
- Encrypted tablespace support for any database object (tables, indexes, stored procedures, triggers, views, etc).
- Protection for log files, configuration files, backups and other database files and output
- Centralized key management that ensures encryption keys (passphrases and RSA keys) are protected and highly available using advanced cryptography techniques (certificates, secure handshakes, digital fingerprinting, etc.)
- Separation of duties to fulfill compliance requirements
“PostgreSQL is a very popular and powerful open source database that has seen a recent resurgence with the growth of private and public cloud computing,” said Larry Warnock, CEO of Gazzang. “By productizing our support for PostgreSQL, we’re continuing to expand our scope as the data security standard for the open source stack and database communities.”
"Gazzang support for PostgreSQL takes encryption of database management systems to the enterprise level, providing a compelling option for upgrading security in database servers,” said Emanuel Calvo, PostgreSQL community participant and operational DBA for PalominoDB. "As PostrgreSQL continues to grow in user adoption, Gazzang’s capabilities open up even more interesting use cases."
