Deployment Scenarios

The Protegrity Gateway Technology has the flexibility to be deployed in any of the following environments:

• On-premise.
• Private cloud.
• Public cloud.
• Hybrid combinations if the necessary network communication is available to its consumers.

The deployment approach is based on the business and security requirements for your use cases and organization. For example, data security may require an on-premise deployment. This might be necessary to keep the key material within physical geography or corporate logical borders. These borders mark the security perimeter that unprotected sensitive data should not cross.

Security domain borders may also be subject to the type of sensitive data. Functioning as a demarcation point, the gateway can protect and unprotect sensitive data crossing these borders. A business data security team will require the gateway to be deployed within their secured domain for the subject sensitive data.

The following diagrams depict different deployment scenarios.

When protecting SaaS Applications, DSG is deployed on-premise of the company that is using the SaaS application as a business system.

When protecting Web Applications that are deployed on-premise, the DSG is deployed on-premise of the company that is hosting the web application infrastructure.

Companies have the option of deploying the DSG on the private or public cloud environment.
