MetaBank(TM) Implements Vormetric Data Security for PCI DSS Compliant Database Encryption

Centralized Key and Policy Management for SQL Server Security

SANTA CLARA, Calif.–(EMWNews)–Vormetric, Inc., the leader in data security management and enforcement

solutions, announced today that MetaBank has implemented Vormetric Data

Security to encrypt and protect sensitive personal and financial

information on customers and credit card holders. MetaBank selected

Vormetric Data Security to encrypt SQL Servers storing sensitive data

based on ease of implementation, transparency, performance and

centralized policy and key management.

“Vormetric Data Security offered us an easier

yet effective method to encrypt our SQL Server databases and comply with

PCI DSS encryption and key management requirements,”

said Troy Larson, MetaBank’s vice president,

Information Systems. “As opposed to the

complexity of implementing point encryption products, Vormetric Data

Security provides us with a consistent and centrally managed security

model across our infrastructure. The abilities to centralize key and

policy management as well as implement a solution that evolves with our

developing needs were critical factors in our decision to select

Vormetric.”

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard 1.1 (PCI DSS) requires

strict protective measures for securing cardholder data. Any company

that stores, processes or transmits credit card data must comply with

the standard, which is designed and enforced by card industry leaders

Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club and Discover.

PCI DSS mandates include data encryption, protection of stored

cardholder data, detailed auditing and logging of all access attempts,

and controls on those who are authorized to view or work with the data.

Vormetric Data Security meets PCI DSS and protects valuable information

wherever it is stored within the enterprise.

“As enterprises move toward broad encryption

implementations, the ability to centralize and standardize key

management and data security has become a pressing need,”

said Richard Gorman, Vormetric CEO. “Vormetric

Data Security is the only solution providing organizations, like

MetaBank, with this central point of management, securing any file, any

database, anywhere across an enterprise. We are proud to serve MetaBank’s

needs as the centralized data security system for addressing their

database encryption, customer information protection and PCI DSS

compliance needs.”
