Leverage the Virtru Data Security Platform

The Virtru Data Security Platform offers pre-built policy enforcement points (PEPs) that enable seamless data-centric security within applications where data is shared. For custom applications or data flows lacking pre-built options, flexible developer tools allow teams to quickly embed data-centric security into existing workflows and applications without extensive redesign or performance overhead.

Fast Integration with Low/No-Code Tools

Low-code/no-code tools, like Apache NiFi, enable you to automate the movement, transformation, and routing of data between different systems and sources in a scalable, flexible, and easily configurable manner. 

Virtru’s custom Apache NiFi processors enable anyone – like business analysts, IT professionals, and technical managers – to embed attribute-based access control (ABAC) directly into data workflows, enforcing granular, context-aware policies with minimal effort or disruption.

Efficient Security Automation

Automatically encase your data in a Trusted Data Format (TDF) wrapper, enabling object-level access control and policy updates as data moves through its lifecycle

Quickly Build Code-Level Customizations

Virtru’s Data Security Platform provides SDKs and proxies to support secure, data-centric integrations for developers aiming to implement code-level customizations. These tools offer robust, native data protection capabilities that integrate seamlessly with custom-built and commercial applications. This ensures the flexibility to meet unique security needs while preserving the integrity of existing workflows.

Proxies act as PEPs, serving as intermediaries between your application and the data source, enforcing security policies transparently. Proxies integrate robust data-centric protection into your architecture with minimal disruption, preserving existing architectures, code, and workflows.

Flexible Security Layer

Add a transparent security layer to your applications, invisible to the user, without altering architecture. Proxies enforce policies over existing applications, allowing you to quickly add security to the apps you already use.
