CloudLink® Unlocks BitLocker To Secure AWS Workloads
CloudLink leverages native OS encryption to streamline cloud security deployment .
CloudLink® Technologies has released CloudLink® SecureVM with Microsoft® BitLocker® encryption for Amazon AWS. Organizations can now secure their virtual desktop and server virtual machines (VMs) with native Windows encryption tools.
While BitLocker encryption is widely used in the enterprise, it relies on hardware Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) or USB drives to store encryption keys. In virtual and cloud environments, BitLocker cannot access hardware TPM and USB devices, which prevents BitLocker encryption of boot volumes. SecureVM extends BitLocker to virtual and cloud environments by emulating TPM functionality in software, giving organizations centralized management over encryption keys and the ability to encrypt their virtual machines independently of AWS.
