Townsend Security, a provider of data privacy solutions, has announced a price reduction to Alliance Key Manager for AWS.†The company’s FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption key manager, now priced at $.50/hour, enables Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers to protect their sensitive data and applications in the cloud, as well as meet PCI DSS, HIPAA, and PII compliance.†Additionally, customers can purchase an annual subscription and receive an added 20 percent savings when compared to hourly pricing over the same 12 month period.
“We have worked with AWS since 2014 to make it easy and affordable for customers to protect sensitive data in the cloud,” says Patrick Townsend, founder & CEO, Townsend Security. †”The new lower cost of Alliance Key Manager for AWS allows customers to protect their sensitive data and meet compliance requirements at a lower cost.”
Using the same FIPS 140-2 validated key management technology available in Townsend Security’s HSM, Alliance Key Manager for AWS offers full life-cycle management of encryption keys for a variety of applications and databases, including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle databases, and Drupal. The solution is deployed as an AMI from AWS Marketplace and protects data in Amazon RDS, Amazon S3, Amazon EBS, and Amazon DynamoDB. †
The solution also includes ready-to-use security applications (SQL Server, Drupal, and more), SDKs, and sample code (Java, C#, Pearl, PHP, and more) for developers. There are no extra fees for deploying client-side applications (AWS usage fees apply).
For customers requiring the highest level of redundancy, Alliance Key Manager for AWS supports real-time mirroring of encryption keys to other instances of the key manager outside of cloud environments. The solution is also available as a traditional hardware security module (HSM), cloud HSM, and VMware virtual appliance (validated to meet PCI DSS).
Alliance Key Manager for AWS is available for a free 30-day trial. AWS usages fees apply.
