Just looking at traditional encryption of data at rest, these encryption solutions commonly involve a complete "Lift and shift" of the database to the encryption at rest solution.

A modern, more complete database encryption strategy must account for encryption of critical database data in three states: at rest, in motion, and now IN USE. Searchable Encryption, also called Encryption-in-Use, keeps that data fully encrypted while it's still usable.

According to Gartner, "The need to protect data confidentiality and maintain data utility is a top concern for data analytics and privacy teams working with large amounts of data. The ability to encrypt data, and still process it securely is considered the holy grail of data protection."

IDC Analyst Jennifer Glenn said, "Digital transformation has made data more portable and usable by every part of the business, while also leaving it more exposed. Searchable encryption offers a powerful way to keep data secure and private while unlocking its value."

A 30+ year old data management company, Paperclip, has created a solution to achieve what was once referred to as the 'holy grail of data protection', encryption of data in use.

By leveraging patented shredding technology used for data storage and Searchable Symmetric Encryption, a solution was born that removes the complexity, latency and risk inherent with legacy data security and encryption strategies.
