CoCre8 Technology Solutions has partnered with HyTrust, an Entrust company.

HyTrust was founded by veterans in the enterprise infrastructure and security space who recognised early on not only that virtualisation and the cloud were going to dramatically transform the data centre, but also that security would be a critical inhibitor to cloud adoption.

The company’s mission is to mitigate the risk of catastrophic data center failure and data breaches — especially considering the concentration of risk that occurs within virtualised and cloud environments. Organisations can now confidently expand virtualisation to mission critical applications and take full advantage of the cloud.

HyTrust technology has been widely deployed by Global 2000 companies and top government agencies, with strong market presence in financial services, healthcare, and government verticals.

HyTrust partners with some of the biggest players in the next-generation datacenter: VMware, IBM, Cisco, Intel, Google, Amazon, and In-Q-Tel.

In January 2021, HyTrust was acquired by Entrust, a global leader in trusted identity, payments, and data protection. The two organisations have come together as a single source for high-assurance data protection, identity and compliance solutions that allow enterprises to encrypt data and enforce security policy across virtualised, public and hybrid cloud environments.

HyTrust is a strategic partner, bringing a unique offering to CoCre8s’ Cloud and Security Solutions.CoCre8 has an extensive set of solutions, from the Edge to the Core to Cloud, and HyTrust is the latest addition which strengthens CoCre8’s overall value proposition. CoCre8 is very excited about the partnership and recognises the importance of security solutions in today’s world.

CoCre8 is key partner for HyTrust in both South Africa and English-speaking Africa. CoCre8 has an extensive reach into these regions through an established partner landscape and the HyTrust range of solutions, complements the extensive product and solution range that it already offers.

The HyTrust solutions include:

* Multi-Cloud Workload Security, with powerful encryption, policy and access control for virtual and public, private and hybrid cloud environments.

* Ultimate Power. With the coming of products like VMware ESXi, NSX and vSphere, power is concentrated in the hypervisor. Because of the absolute power of the hypervisor over compute, storage and now network, it is vital to properly control access to admin/root accounts as well as control who can do what to the network and servers.

* HyTrust CloudControl gives IT strong encryption for virtual machines in the cloud and on-premise.

* HyTrust DataControl – Delivers complete workload lifecycle, from inception to retirement. It reduces the complexity of protecting workloads across multiple cloud platforms and ensures protection of sensitive data and critical underpinning of cryptographic keys. It further enforces separation of duties across different user personas and facilitates compliance with data privacy.

* HyTrust KeyControl – HyTrust KeyControl simplifies the process of key management for applications that do not require sophisticated policy based key management – but still need to perform to scale to enterprise grade level performance. To evaluate HyTrust KeyControl, A 60-day trial license is available here.

* HyTrust CloudAdvisor- HyTrust CloudAdvisor for Data enables you to define policies to automatically discover the data that’s valuable to you, detect anomalous user access behaviors, and defend your organisation against careless exposure, data loss, malicious users, and regulatory noncompliance.
