E-mail Print PDF

HP aims to improve its security offering, particularly in data classification, payments security, encryption and key management, with the acquisition of encryption specialist Voltage Security.

HP Voltage SecurityFinancial details are not available.

Voltage sells what HP describes as power data-centric protection solutions allowing enterprises to use protected data in applications without need to re-architect applications or adopt fragmented frameworks. It also offers Identity Based Encryption technology allowing for simpler on-premise and mobile enterprise email security.

"With Voltage, HP plans to offer customers unparalleled data protection capabilities built to close the gaps that exist in traditional encryption and tokenization approaches," the company says. "This is particularly important for enterprises that interact with financial payments systems, manage workloads in the cloud, or whose sensitive data flows into Hadoop for analytics-- making them attractive targets for cyber-attackers."

Once the acquisition closes the Voltage product offering will make part of the HP Atalla portfolio.
