Introducing Comforte AG's Secure Data Analytics Solution

Comforte AG announced a new Secure Data Analytics solution designed to empower organisations to leverage cloud-based analytics tools without compromising security or compliance.

FREMONT, CA: Comforte AG recently announced a new secure data analytics solution to empower businesses to utilise cloud-based analytics tools without compromising security resilience or regulatory compliance.

A silent revolution is being sparked by cloud-powered data analytics tools like Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, and Google BigQuery that make it possible to gain access to market and customer data and use it to inform business choices. However, the information that these technologies frequently access is oftentimes heavily controlled by both industry standards and laws like the GDPR and CCPA. Business owners often misapply traditional controls to cloud environments and/or place too much reliance on the built-in security protections offered by their technology providers, increasing security and compliance risks.

Others might order that owners of projects anonymise, disguise, or never use sensitive data, which would prevent projects from providing the anticipated business value or cause them to be perpetually delayed. With a novel methodology, Comfortes' Secure Data Analytics solution enables businesses to employ cloud-based analytics to their fullest potential while remaining entirely secure and compliant.

This is achieved by:

• Systematically and automatically identifying and categorising all sensitive information (e.g., PII, PHI)

• Ensuring its protection so that it can be accessed by authorised people and used by analytics tools (e.g., format-preserving encryption)

• To ensure compliance, data must be protected before entering the cloud and maintained there throughout its lifecycle.

• Enabling a more automated data protection strategy that minimises manual labour, and costs, and complicates data and security management.

Leading international companies, including some of its biggest clients, are moving more and more of their data ecosystems to hybrid and multi-cloud environments. According to Comforte CTO Henning Horst, doing so raises complexity and the possibility of non-compliance with strict data protection rules. These businesses must provide their data analytics teams with streamlined solutions that maintain data utility without adding unnecessary security or compliance risk if they are to uncover insight and maximise the value of their data to fuel innovation-fueled growth.
