VPS for the Small and Medium Business

Embrace SaaS and Reduce IT Costs
without Data Privacy or Security Concerns

Large Numbers of SMBs are Moving to SaaS

Small and medium businesses in large numbers are moving to SaaS-based solutions for many office computing applications, such as email, document sharing, customer relationship management and human resources. The reasons for this trend are clear: SaaS instantly provides the business with rich functionality, without a large initial investment in software and servers, and without the difficulty and overhead of maintaining in-house software systems. The flexibility and scalability of the pay-as-you-go approach is very appealing to most businesses.

Is Your Data Safe in the Cloud?

Inherent in the SaaS model are the dangers associated with your company's confidential data being hosted in the cloud. In most cases, a company would not want its data being seen by competitors or abused by other unauthorized parties. Internal documents and employee emails containing sensitive information should never be exposed to third parties. Yet, when using SaaS applications, your company's confidential information is vulnerable to theft, loss and breaches privacy breaches. There may even be legal liability in some cases of data theft or loss.

VPS: Real-time Encryption of Sensitive SaaS Data Before it Leaves your Company

Virtual Private SaaS (VPS) is a revolutionary concept in SaaS application data security. Implemented as a cloud service, VPS transparently encrypts all SaaS application data deemed sensitive by the company before it is transmitted to the SaaS application provider. When the data is returned to the company employee, the process is reversed. End users remain completely unaware of this process, yet their data is completely unreadable (and therefore meaningless) when stored on the SaaS provider's server. Database theft and identity theft becomes harmless, and regulatory compliance is ensured, as all sensitive data remains undecipherable when transmitted and stored outside the company which owns the data.

Benefits of Virtual Private SaaS

Database Theft and Identity Theft Become Harmless

When VPS is used, database theft, whether by a dishonest employee of the SaaS provider or by an outside hacker, becomes harmless because the stolen data is completely undecipherable without decryption by VPS. Likewise, identity theft outside the borders of the company becomes harmless, and regulatory compliance is ensured, as all sensitive data remains undecipherable, stored encrypted on the SaaS provider's servers.

The Company Retains Full Security Control Over its Data

With VPS, the company has full control over its sensitive data since it holds all the encryption keys. All encryption/decryption operations are performed by VPS, which can be located in the cloud or inside the corporate firewall (in larger organizations.

Full Application Functionality is Retained

Although using encryption to protect sensitive data is obviously not new, the uniqueness of VPS encryption is that even while sensitive company data is undecipherable when stored in the SaaS provider's database, full application functionality is retained. Supported functionality includes searching, sorting, report generation and field validation. This is accomplished through a unique set of patent-pending encryption methods, based on NIST-standard encryption algorithms. All VPS operations are completely transparent to both end users and the SaaS application itself.

Multiple SaaS Applications Can Be Supported by One VPS Device

Unlike point solutions for one particular SaaS application or another, VPS is a "universal on-ramp" to the cloud, allowing small and medium sized businesses to safely use one or more SaaS applications with a single VPS device.

Out-of-the-Box Support for Popular SaaS Applications

Without requiring changes to the SaaS application itself, almost any SaaS application can be supported. VPS is provided with preconfigured encryption policies for selected SaaS applications, allowing fast and easy implementation. If desired, the company can customize the types of encryption applied to each data field of each SaaS application.
