Oracle stands apart by offering a comprehensive suite of services across all its cloud delivery models, from Oracle Alloy and Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer to its standard Public Cloud service. Regardless of the means of delivery or usage, security, and regulatory compliance are significant hindrances to cloud adoption. These concerns are particularly pressing for large enterprise clients traditionally relying on Oracle’s database expertise to safeguard their most sensitive data. The pivotal Thales and Oracle external key management partnership directly addresses the challenge of securely storing data in the cloud in a manner that instills trust in large enterprises.

Continuing in its efforts to innovate for Oracle customers, we at Thales are excited to announce that organizations can now use Thales’ CipherTrust Data Security Platform as a Service (CDSPaaS) with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Vault’s External Key Management Service (EKMS) for full Hold Your Own Key (HYOK) encryption key management. Now customers can be in full control of their OCI keys without having to deploy hardware in their own data center as well as meet their data sovereignty needs.

Overview of CipherTrust Data Security Platform as-a-Service

Until this announcement, businesses have had the option to externally manage their OCI encryption keys by using Thales’ CipherTrust Cloud Key Management (CCKM) as either a physical appliance or virtual machine or sometimes arrayed in a hybrid or multi-cloud architecture. Now, with OCI Vault EKMS support available on the CipherTrust Data Security Platform-as-a-service (CDSPaaS), Thales offers a cloud-based service offering to the mix. Customers should have the choice of how and where they store their encryption keys. And now, they can do just that fully with Thales’ CipherTrust Data Security Platform.

The same underlying CCKM technology from our appliances underpins CDSPaaS. CCKM centralizes the management and storage of cloud encryption keys (from a broad array of CSP (Cloud Service Providers) vendors including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) as organizations migrate their sensitive data to the cloud
