Case Study: Asia-Pacific Region Stock Exchange achieves stable, compliant encryption with Thales e-Security

Asia-Pacific Stock Exchange Sets the Encryption Standard with Thales

Asia-Pacific Region Stock Exchange was asked by its government to bring greater transparency to the country’s capital market while also setting a high standard for information security. The exchange needed robust encryption for personally identifiable information that would not require application-level changes or performance degradation, and it wanted a mature solution that could support a variety of file types.

The exchange chose Thales e-Security, implementing Vormetric Data Security Manager and Vormetric Transparent Encryption after a two-phase evaluation and proof of concept. Thales delivered encryption with no performance impact or change to user access, and the solution was also deployed to protect backups in the business continuity environment. The exchange’s management and internal audit team were satisfied with the result, and the organization said it could scale future encryption needs with Thales.
