Thales CipherTrust Platform Community Edition reduces the drag associated with adding data security so you can protect your velocity and be compliant. DevSecOps teams can integrate key management (KMS), encryption and tokenization in a fraction of the time required by other solutions.

CipherTrust Platform Community Edition consists of CipherTrust Manager Community Edition, which can be used independently, and two Enterprise-edition Thales CipherTrust Connectors.

CipherTrust Manager Community Edition simplifies your workflow with centralized key lifecycle management using role-based access controls on encryption keys and policies. CipherTrust Manager Community Edition enables compliance by including robust auditing and reporting. Integration becomes easy due to developer-friendly APIs (including REST, KMIP and NAE-XML), and DevSecOps efficiency increases due to full separation of duties.

At the core of the CipherTrust Data Security Platform, CipherTrust Manager Community Edition provides a unified management console for a variety of Thales CipherTrust Connectors that simplify discovery, protection and control of sensitive data wherever the data resides - in file-systems/folders, databases, applications, containers, big data and virtualized environments.

CipherTrust Manager Community Edition includes licenses for the following Thales Connectors:

• CipherTrust Data Protection Gateway (DPG) -- a gateway Connector that protects data used by applications in their RESTful calls and can be used in conjunction with CipherTrust Manager without code changes.
• CipherTrust Transparent Encryption (CTE) for Kubernetes (CTE-K8S) -- an agent Connector that protects data stored in containers or accessed externally by containers deployed in Kubernetes environments. CTE for Kubernetes is transparent so it can be used in conjunction with CipherTrust Manager without code changes.

CipherTrust Manager Community Edition can be seamlessly upgraded to the Enterprise Edition.

Meeting compliance mandates in Microsoft Azure is greatly simplified with CipherTrust Manager Community Edition through key management activity logs provided in a non-repudiable audit trail that can be forwarded to a security information management (SIEM) platform.
