Wave Systems Corp. debuted its Wave Encryption Service, a scalable, subscription-based service for data protection.

Wave’s new service allows organizations to centrally enforce strong data encryption policies on laptops across the organization to secure data and meet compliance regulations—without the complexity and cost associated with an on-premise solution.

WES manages a variety of client encryption solutions, including folder-level software encryption and Microsoft Bitlocker. Notably, WES is the only cloud-based service for managing Opal self-encrypting drives.

The service has earned favorable marks from one of its first customers. Salisbury Bank, headquartered in Northwestern Connecticut, with locations in Western Massachusetts and in New York. It deployed the service in late 2011 for laptops used by the sales force and executive team.

“What we really like about Wave Encryption Service is the simplicity it brings to protecting data on our laptops. It’s easy to set up, use and administer,” says Todd Clinton, Salisbury Bank’s senior vice president and chief technology officer.

“We evaluated solutions from other vendors,” he says, “but most had strict minimum seat requirements that we just didn’t meet. Wave gave us the flexibility to manage multiple types of encryption as our needs change.”
