Pegasystems Simplifies and Strengthens Data Security with
Vormetric
Leading CRM/BPM provider deploys scalable solution to automate cloud
protection and secure sensitive client data in the Cloud
SAN JOSE, Calif. – March 12, 2013 — Pegasystems (NASDAQ: PEGA), the leading provider of
business process management (BPM) and customer relationship management (CRM)
software solutions, has standardized on Vormetric Data Security to reassure its global
customer base that it is securing their data based on security best practices and compliance
requirements. Vormetric, the leader in enterprise data security for physical, virtual and
cloud environments, was selected for its ability to automate Pegasystems' data encryption
within a leading Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud service provider as well as to
increase the processing speed at which Pegasystems can encrypt its volume within a cloud
infrastructure.

“Our partnership with a recognized data security expert like Vormetric gives us a distinct
competitive advantage,” said Jim Walker, Global Head of Pega Cloud Operations and
Security. “Our customers are eager to move to the cloud and protecting their data is a
foremost concern. With Vormetric Data Security in place, our clients can be confident in the
security of our services when it comes to protecting their high-value data. And, our
government clients are pleased that we’re using a solution that is already relied upon by
major federal agencies.”
“End customers rely on cloud service providers like Pegasystems to protect their data and
the best way to do that is to encrypt it at its source,” said Frank Tycksen, Vormetric’s vice
president of customer success. “As recent news demonstrates, hackers can break into
networks to steal high-value data. Many security products improperly focus on trying to
stop threats at the perimeter rather than focusing as close to the data as possible. The
Pegasystems deployment is a fantastic example of protecting what matters in a dynamic
cloud environment.”
Pegasystems’ cloud offering has grown significantly over the past few years, and managing
key rotation processes was becoming unwieldy. Pegasystems needed to simplify its
encryption approach with a scalable solution that could keep pace with the company’s rapid
growth.
Pegasystems deployed multiple Vormetric Data Security Manager appliances for its global
cloud footprint, and is leveraging Vormetric’s Federal Information Processing Standard
(FIPS) 140-2 Level 3 certified solution to meet the requirements of government clients. The
solution is being deployed globally across several hundred cloud server instances and will be
used to protect applications and databases, including databases which could be housing
personally identifiable health and financial information that is affected by compliance rules
such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Health
Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, as well as other
country-specific data breach laws, such as the UK Data Protection Act.
“We protect what matters and simplify data security for our customers, even as they scale
in the cloud,” said Derek Tumulak, Vormetric’s vice president of product management.
“Pegasystems' deployment illustrates how we enable customer assurance that sensitive
data will remain protected — on premise or in the cloud.”
