MILPITAS, Calif. — Credit unions served by Symitar will now be offered a storage encryption appliance from nCipher (www.ncipher.com), a British provider of identity management and data protection solutions.

The CryptoStor device intercepts backup/restore communications between hosts and tape libraries, centrally managing and fully off-loading tape media security functions, the company said.

Compliance and security mandates require that credit unions encrypt sensitive information throughout the entire data lifecycle.

“nCipher's CryptoStor allows us to offer a risk management solution that delivers unprecedented security and superior key management capabilities all in one easy-to-deploy appliance that helps minimize potential business interruptions,” said Kathy Hooker Burress, president of Symitar (www.symitar.com), a provider of core processing services to more than 600 credit unions.
