5 Steps to Maximum Data Protection

In April 2021, almost 2 years ago, Thales has announced End-ofLife of its Vormetric Data Security Platform, effective June 2024.

After the two acquisitions of Vormetric in 2016 and Gemalto in 2019, Thales became the owner of two market leading key management and data protection solutions.

The feature sets and the strengths of both solutions have been combined in the new CipherTrust Data Security Platform. However, not each and every function has been implemented exactly the same way as in either one of the predecessor products. Functions are also more tightly integrated now, and the management paradigms differ significantly between the product generations.

Hence, a simple upgrade from Vormetric to CipherTrust is not possible. Instead, a migration of each function and the related data must be planned and carried out.
