What can we do?

SaaS

The Customer Control Concept

VPS: A Revolutionary Concept

Customer is in control of its data privacy

Real-time encryption of sensitive SaaS data

Sensitive data remains encrypted while at rest

SaaS application functionality is unaffected

Out-of-the-box policy configuration

No need to modify the SaaS application

*Patent pending technology

Navajo VPS Use Case

Client sends data to VPS

Step 1: Detect Sensitive Data

Step 2: Encrypt Sensitive Data

Step 3: Send Encrypted DataStep 4: Store Encrypted DataStep 5: Receive Data from App
