Case Study: a global 100 manufacturer secures cloud-migrated data with Baffle Data Protection for Databases

Large Manufacturer Secures Data Migrated To Cloud Workloads

A Global 100 Manufacturer, one of the world's largest makers of energy technologies, faced significant challenges with an aging application and database that could no longer scale to support its complex, long-term service contracts. The manufacturer's planned cloud transformation was blocked by legal and customer concerns over data privacy in a public cloud until they could find a way to encrypt their massive, sensitive datasets before migration. They selected Baffle Data Protection for Databases from vendor Baffle to meet their security and performance requirements.

Baffle's solution provided highly performant, no-code data encryption that secured sensitive data on-the-fly as it was migrated to AWS. By using Baffle, the manufacturer encrypted data at a field level, improved performance and efficiency by a factor of four, and enabled secure analytics in Tableau without decrypting the data. The successful deployment has been in production for several months, securing data at rest, in transit, and in use, and the teams plan to apply Baffle's approach to other applications across the organization.
