Voltage’s proven data-centric encryption and tokenization technology will complement HP’s security portfolio, helping customers protect their most sensitive information whether it lives in the cloud, across mobile platforms, in big data environments, or within legacy computer systems for critical regulatory compliance.

Voltage’s data-centric protection solutions will join HP Atalla, HP’s information security and encryption business, expanding HP’s offerings in data classification, payments security, encryption, tokenization and enterprise key management.

With Voltage, HP will offer customers data protection capabilities built to close the gaps that exist in traditional encryption and tokenization approaches.

Voltage’s data-centric strategy aligns with HP’s focus on end-to-end protection of the data itself, helping enterprises neutralize the impact of a breach and proactively combat new security threats. 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.

The addition of Voltage technology will continue HP’s security platform across industries, protecting the most sensitive information of modern organizations as they transition to cloud and big data ecosystems.

The transaction is expected to close in the first half of HP’s fiscal 2015, subject to customary closing conditions.
