Baffle, a company that protects sensitive data, is offering new capabilities designed to secure multi-tenant applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS)—giving AWS customers the ability to secure data in databases as well as S3 object storage with simplicity and ease by protecting each tenant within the multi-tenant application.
Baffle now provides a solution for multi-tenant encryption for the relational database service (RDS) and Aurora database instances. This move also integrates Baffle’s key management capabilities with AWS server-side encryption to cover S3 object stores.
Baffle then eliminates the complexity of key management for multi-tenant isolation by streamlining and automating the process, giving customers a single key that controls all their data in AWS for the SaaS provider, according to the vendor.
“As the enterprise and companies shift their workloads in the cloud, they're effectively losing control over that infrastructure, and a lot of the compliance requirements are very much centered around ensuring that you have control over who has access to your data, especially the sensitive ones,” said Min-Hank Ho, VP of product at Baffle.
AWS customers using Baffle can now benefit from:
- Reduced cost to implement and manage multi-tenant security - Customers save time and as a result, money spent on management with a single control mechanism.
- Decreased data security risk - Customers’ data is secure and protected by Baffle’s cryptographic technology solution.
- Increased ability to customize and scale - With a simple security solution, customers can focus on the configuration that works best rather than how to secure the data.
“AWS, as one of the largest cloud service providers, is host to a multitude of application vendors out there…What we've observed is that these vendors are getting requirements from their end customers that say, ‘I actually need to have control of my data…I need my own encryption key to encrypt the data that I'm putting into your cloud infrastructure,’” said Ho. “We would be the vendor that provides…the capability to separately encrypt each of their end customers’ data with different keys.”
Baffle delivers an enterprise-class data security platform that secures data stores for applications and GenAI with “no code” changes. The solution supports masking, tokenization, and encryption with role-based access control at the logical database, column-, row-, or field level, according to the company.
“The exciting thing about us providing multi-tenancy for AWS across its different services is that we're continuing to expand our capability to make it easier and easier to support multi-tenant data protection for all sorts of use cases, and we're going to continue pushing the envelope,” said Ho.
