HyTrust for Public Sector:

Today Public Sector departments and agencies face numerous operational challenges as they shift from expensive data center deployments to more cost efficient virtualized environments and cloud services. HyTrust can help the Public Sector connect acquired cloud platforms with workload security solutions that reinforce data privacy and security controls, apply privileged access management, automate regulatory compliance tasks, and support secure multi-tenancy deployments across any cloud environment for mission security and operational success.

• Regulatory Compliance: HyTrust helps agencies secure workloads and ensure IT security while adhering to mandated compliance frameworks such as NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, CJIS, and HIPAA
• Data Insights and Protection: HyTrust provides automated data discovery, data classification, access control, encryption, workload geo-fencing, and integrated key management solutions across multiple virtualized environments to strengthen data security in the cloud.
• Multi-Tenant and Hybrid Cloud Deployments: HyTrust deciphers multi-tenancy challenges by enforcing access control policies for virtualized servers and desktop infrastructure by separating virtual deployments and safely isolating each tenant’s critical applications and data.
• Protecting Critical Infrastructure and Government Services: IT and compliance automation enables agencies to accelerate their usage of virtualized and cloud environments while meeting the essential operational and regulatory standards that guarantee workload and data security.

Virtual and Cloud Compliance for CJIS

• The Criminal Justice Information Systems Compliance Specification (CJIS), version 5.3, specifies Access Controls, Configuration Management and Systems Protection and Data Integrity and critical control objectives.
• HyTrust’s encryption, workflow automation, and logging capabilities satisfy more than a dozen relevant CJIS controls that deal with virtual infrastructure administrator access management, separation of duties, least privilege enforcement, and logging of virtual infrastructure administrator activity.

FedRAMP Cloud and Virtualization Compliance

• Service Providers seeking FedRAMP certification must contend with a large number of required security controls – 297 of them for the “Moderate” Impact Level.
• HyTrust solutions provide broad control support in two critical areas:
  
  • HyTrust CloudControl – hypervisor layer administration, activity auditing, and configuration hardening
  • HyTrust DataControl – Data at rest encryption for any Linux or Windows hosted database or application
• By supporting so many controls in a single solution, providers not only simplify the task of achieving FedRAMP certification, they lower staff training and manpower costs and directly impact the bottom line.
