Hitachi Solutions America, a provider of global industry solutions powered by the Microsoft Cloud, announced Hitachi Solutions’ Security by Trace Auditing, Key Management, and Encryption (STAKE). The new product works right out of the box to arm organizations with the security, control, transparency and accountability they need to fiercely protect data, fully comply with strict regulations and win customer confidence and trust.

Through highly-secure encryption, patented key generation and storage, and unique trace audit logging, STAKE adds layers of security to data stored and shared on the cloud, gives users complete control of their encryption keys, and separates regulatory checks and balances.

STAKE is designed to help organizations who struggle with data security issues to stay a step ahead of the cyber threat landscape. Main benefits include:

• Keep company and customer data safe, prevent identity theft and fraud, and block brute force attacks
• Make data useless to hackers in the event of a data breach or government data seizure
• Monitor and stop suspicious user activities to minimize inside threats and prevent data leakage and loss
• Proactively take control of the security of data shared or stored in the cloud
• Provide the full transparency and accountability needed to meet industry and government compliance, including GDPR

“Data security tops almost every list of challenges that keep executives up at night. That’s because they remain under constant and intense pressure to ensure customer privacy, defend company IP, and adhere to regulations,” said Craig Burbidge, senior vice president at Hitachi Solutions America. “With STAKE, clients can rest a little easier knowing they can easily and affordably use the same tool trusted by Japan’s most sophisticated mega banks to help them safeguard their data and reduce threats, while achieving stringent compliance and improving customer trust and service.”
