Axiomatics SmartGuard for Data vs Vormetric Application Crypto Suite comparison

Uses a policy-based approach to control access to data, SmartGuard intercepts user requests for access to large data stores, and dynamically applies powerful policies. These policies are fine-grained and features dynamic filtering and dynamic data masking for datasets, tables, columns, rows and cells.

At the core of the Vormetric Application Crypto Suite from Thales is a set of products that streamline development efforts to add encryption, tokenization, masking and other cryptographic functions to applications. The job of the developer is made easy and fast by leveraging sample code and APIs that are best for their environment, while key management functions are kept separate and secure in a FIPS 140-2 hardware or virtual appliance that is operated by IT or SecOps. Securing data at the application, with separation of duties for key management, provides the highest levels of protection and compliance.

The Vormetric Application Crypto Suite also includes applications and utilities that leverage the core components to add security layers to databases and other structured data stores.
