The StratoKey Cloud Encryption Gateway operates at the network level, intercepting and encrypting data before it reaches cloud or SaaS applications. It supports multiple encryption types, including searchable and format-preserving encryption, and ensures sensitive data remains encrypted both in transit and at rest. The gateway is application-agnostic, allowing it to work with any cloud service without requiring software updates for compatibility. It provides real-time monitoring, behavioral analytics, and automated countermeasures to detect and mitigate threats. StratoKey also offers compliance with regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, and data sovereignty requirements, and can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems while remaining invisible to end users.
