Aerobyte: Delivering Dynamic Data Encryption

Howard Hellman, Founder

While firms strive to secure the sensitive data flowing through their enterprise networks, the integration of wearable technology and Internet of Things(IoT) devices in the infrastructure often makes it vulnerable. In such a scenario, endpoint security platforms and encryption gateway solutions are gaining credence as organizations continue to focus on adopting new technologies that not only monitor interactions between machines, but also react to unauthorized activity.“Linux on IBM Power Systems is a platform to be reckoned with. Especially since we’re trying to get more horsepower out of the same system using less rackspace as we consolidate enterprise security protection” explains Howard Hellman, Founder, Aerobyte.

The Boca Raton, FL-based Aerobyte provides Encryption Gateway solutions built on IBM Power Systems. The company adopts a centralized approach to secure an organization’s IT environment globally by taking an inside out approach to securing data at the byte level and deploying perimeter defenses to an enterprises’ farthest end-points. Aerobyte’s Security Architecture Framework environment (SAFe) secures an entire enterprise irrespective of whether the user is remote, local on premise, or in the cloud, “We provide edge-to-edge protection and encryption to ensureall the data is protected, along with strong access control through PKI to ensure authorized usersand trusted devices connect safely while enforcing good policy.”elaborates Hellman.

Aerobyte’s SAFe EDGE Interconnect protects any endpoint, which is any workstation, laptop, mobile, and IoT device by deploying advanced security features locally. Aerobyte calls this process Edge Point Protection.

Aerobyte’s Encryption gateway provides all the functionality that an enterprise needs to secure data at rest and in motion through end to end encryption while meeting business security and compliance requirements.

The combination of Aerobyte’s encryption gateway with IBM’s Analytics, Access Control, and Identity Management solutions closes major security gaps when protecting enterprises, “We have created a virtually secured Network that can be layered to protect any type of communication on the internet without boundaries and borders. Our customers can now secure their communication using any network, or any ISP. All information identification about user and data path is invisible and encrypted,” adds Hellman.

Aerobyte’s security solutions integrate IBM’s endpoint security solutions, like BigFix Security and Q-radar Security Intelligence Platform into its security framework to deliver best-of-breed enterprise security to its customers.

“Our solution provides strong encryption and access control seamlessly protecting every communication stream around the globe, Linux on Power is the only infrastructure we feel can support it,” adds Hellman. Having acquired the reputation for being a trusted ISV, MSP and VAR for their security framework, Aerobyte helps its clients build their own open environment that leverages IBM’s Rational Application Developer features.

The company meets the ever changing regulatory compliance needs of its clients through consulting services and advanced analytics solutions like Q-radar to always remain several moves ahead of auditors by simplifying the process. In addition, advanced analytics helps our clients trace events within our own security system to monitor any abnormal behavior, in addition, analytics allows our clients to view traffic and data flow in new ways and can pinpoint information flow which may be buried and hidden. Our solution allows organizations to rapidly identify such traffic and deploy protection via its Dashboard using software defined security versus traditional expensive network and cyber security products.

Going forward, the cyber security specialists at Aerobyte have plans to grow the company’s footprint as more clients adopt its security framework. In addition, the company is keen on exploring its options in the latest security technology market to enhance their framework. “Our passion is to meet customer requirements with cost- effective and robust solutions,” concludes Hellman.
