  • Patent number: 9785785
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating and using a sharable file-level key to secure data files. The file-level key is generated based on a workgroup key associated with the data file and unique information associated with the data file. The file-level key may be used to encrypt and split data. Systems and methods are also provided for sharing data without replicating the data on an end user machine. Data is encrypted and split across an external/consumer network and an enterprise/producer network. Access to the data is provided using a computing image generated by a server in the enterprise/producer network and then distributed to end users of the external/consumer network. This computing image may include preloaded files that provide pointers to the data. No access or replication of the data on the enterprise/producer network is needed in order for a user of the external/consumer network to access the data.

  • Publication number: 20170286669
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for securing data in virtual machine computing environments. A request is received for a security operation from a first virtual machine operating in a host operating system of a first device. In response to receiving the request, a first security module executes the security operation, the first security module implemented in a kernel of the host operating system. The result of the security operation is provided to the first virtual machine.

  • Patent number: 8769270
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating and using a sharable file-level key to secure data files. The sharable file-level key is generated based on a workgroup key associated with the data file, as well as unique information associated with the data file. The sharable file-level key may be used to encrypt and split data using a Secure Parser. Systems and methods are also provided for sharing data without replicating the data on the machine of the end user. Data is encrypted and split across an external/consumer network and an enterprise/producer network. Access to the data is provided using a computing image generated by a server in the enterprise/producer network and then distributed to end users of the external/consumer network. This computing image may include preloaded files that provide pointers to the data that was encrypted and split. No access or replication of the data on the enterprise/producer network is needed in order for a user of the external/consumer network to access the data.
