 Comforte AG enables quantum-resistant pseudonymization for their Data
 Protection Suite

 Wiesbaden, 07/09/2024 - With the latest release of its SecurDPS (Data
 Protection Suite) comforte is introducing a number of innovations and
 improvements to strengthen security, enhance monitoring and auditing
 capabilities, and increase reliability and efficiency of its product.

 A major innovation of this release is the addition of a new groundbreaking
 quantum-resistant configuration of comforte's algorithms for pseudonymization
 & tokenization. As quantum computing advances, traditional encryption
 methods pose significant risks. Especially for scenarios where data longevity
 is involved, there is a risk that cybercriminals steal sensitive data today
 and will decrypt it in the future. Oftentimes organizations are transferring
 unprotected data with the use of public key infrastructure (PKI) which is
 significantly at risk because of quantum computing.

 Comforte`s new algorithm FAST (Format-preserving Addition Substitution
 Transformation) is designed to protect sensitive data against the formidable
 capabilities of quantum computers, ensuring that information encrypted today
 remains secured against tomorrow's threats. While not replacing PKI, it allows
 organizations to add an important additional layer of security, being able to
 store, transfer and use data in its protected form - even for small domain
 sizes that often occur in privacy relevant data sets.

 Based on direct customer feedback, the new version provides enhanced logging
 features allowing for more control and flexibility for application monitoring
 and data governance. Compatibility with various logging systems helps
 customers fulfill logging requirements defined in the new version of PCI DSS
 (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, Requirement 10.2) and gain much
 more control over their data.

 Other improvements include support for data protection on additional operating
 systems, applications and environments used by many financial institutions.
