Wiesbaden, 07/09/2024 - With the latest release of its SecurDPS (Data Protection Suite) comforte is introducing a number of innovations and improvements to strengthen security, enhance monitoring and auditing capabilities, and increase reliability and efficiency of its product. A major innovation of this release is the addition of a new groundbreaking quantum-resistant configuration of comforte’s algorithms for pseudonymization & tokenization. As quantum computing advances, traditional encryption methods pose significant risks. Especially for scenarios where data longevity is involved, there is a risk that cybercriminals steal sensitive data today and will decrypt it in the future. Oftentimes organizations are transferring unprotected data with the use of public key infrastructure (PKI) which is significantly at risk because of quantum computing. Comforte`s new algorithm FAST (Format-preserving Addition Substitution Transformation) is designed to protect sensitive data against the formidable capabilities of quantum computers, ensuring that information encrypted today remains secured against tomorrow’s threats. While not replacing PKI, it allows organizations to add an important additional layer of security, being able to store, transfer and use data in its protected form – even for small domain sizes that often occur in privacy relevant data sets. Based on direct customer feedback, the new version provides enhanced logging features allowing for more control and flexibility for application monitoring and data governance. Compatibility with various logging systems helps customers fulfill logging requirements defined in the new version of PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, Requirement 10.2) and gain much more control over their data. Other improvements include support for data protection on additional operating systems, applications and environments used by many financial institutions.
