Entrust CloudControl vs HyTrust DataControl comparison

Cloud security solutions help defend and protect the most important asset in the IT inventory – the hypervisor. For most organizations, their virtualization infrastructure is the crown jewel of the shop and the hypervisor the one ring to rule them all. With that it mind, it is more important than ever to pay particular attention to cloud security solutions that help better harden the hypervisor, lock down access and provide better visibility into and control over the environment.

With Entrust CloudControl you get a variety of security and policy enhancements without impacting the GUI that your vSphere, NSX and ESXi admins already know and use. Deployed as a transparent proxy, Entrust CloudControl mediates the actions taken by hyperadministrators using familiar interfaces. Approved actions are allowed, disapproved actions are blocked and additional approval is enabled.

HyTrust DataControl is a complete cloud and virtualization encryption solution including both encryption and KeyControl and is available for both Windows and Linux. Initial installation takes just a few seconds and data is securely encrypted at rest and in motion from the point of install until the VM is eventually securely retired.

Because the encryption software is part of the VM, encryption travels with the VM from one physical host to another or from private to public cloud and back again. Operationally DataControl is transparent, allowing encryption and rekeying on the fly with no need to reboot, dismount or incur downtime.
