Thales today announced a new high-performance data security solution for Teradata customers using the Vantage platform for data and analytics. By providing users with a totally transparent and scalable encryption solution to protect data at rest in any environment, the Thales Transparent Encryption solutions enable Teradata Vantage customers to better meet compliance and privacy regulations through encryption, access controls and data access audit logging.

Easily deployed across files and systems, this solution enables data at rest to be quickly encrypted within the Vantage platform. Since it is “transparent”, it is simple to deploy because there are no application development or database integration changes required. The cost-effective solution removes data breach risks and supports compliance initiatives while saving organisations months on the deployment of data protection for a Teradata environment.
Effective Access Policy Management at Scale
Thales’ Transparent Encryption is completely invisible to Vantage users and administrators as long as they are authorised to access the databases and system files they won’t know that solution is protecting your business. However, processes and actions from unauthorised users are immediately stopped and logged. The solution can be flexibly deployed across physical, virtual and cloud environments, giving organisations the ability to implement granular access policies that allow administrators to access infrastructure and systems without ever being able to see sensitive data in clear text.
The solution is designed to meet the high-scale and performance requirements of Vantage deployments on-premises, in clouds and hybrid, which can be several hundred terabytes to many petabytes in size and contain highly sensitive and regulated data and subsequently subject to privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, etc.). The scalable solution provides little overhead, from encryption and decryption activities, letting users robustly secure data and retain critical I/O and storage efficiencies.
“We’re pleased to have worked with the Teradata team to expand the Thales offering to include the transparent encryption solutions for Teradata. Our existing joint customers will simply expand their data security platform investment to include their Vantage environment. They will find that the policies for encryption, privileged user access and the additional security intelligence logs to further enhance their visibility are entirely familiar. New customers will be taking their first steps in unifying all their data security requirements and use cases on one easy to use, scalable and high-performance platform. The Thales solution complements the rich set of controls in the Vantage environment, ensuring that deployments meet the toughest regulatory audit scrutiny and protects a company’s most valuable data,” said Todd Moore, Senior Vice President, Encryption Solutions at Thales.
Jay Irwin JD, Director of Teradata Center for Enterprise Security added: "Teradata’s customer base is comprised of some of the largest and most data-centric companies on the planet. Security at scale is vital to this clientele, which makes Thales’ solution a particularly good fit for enabling Teradata's best-in-industry cloud security to be even more robust. With the application of Thales transparent encryption solutions, we provide a layered defense that protects customer data on-premises, in the cloud and in hybrid environments – all deployment types that our customers use today.”

Blue Matter Launches Behavioral Science Center of Excellence to Decode and Predict Health Care Decisions in a Rapidly Evolving Biopharma Landscape30.9.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Blue Matter today announced the launch of its Behavioral Science Center of Excellence (BeSci CoE), a specialized capability within the Blue Matter Insights primary market research team. The CoE applies behavioral science as a strategic lens to decode the “why” behind the decisions made by healthcare professionals, patients, care partners, and other stakeholders. Biopharma decisions hinge on knowing why customers do what they do. Traditional research does a good job of capturing what stakeholders say but often misses the unconscious drivers, biases, emotions, and contexts that shape behavior. The result is an incomplete picture in the moments where clarity matters most, including when developing positioning strategies, planning product launches, and making major lifecycle decisions. "You don't need a survey to tell you that physicians see efficacy as the most important treatment decision driver," said Andrew Pilecki, Ph.D., Senior Market Research Director at Blue Matter. "What our clien

Visioneering Technologies' New Contact Lens Trial Shows Landmark Results in Slowing Children's Nearsightedness30.9.2026 15:59:00 EEST | Press release
Visioneering Technologies, Inc. (VTI), a medical device company that designs and markets specialty contact lenses, will announce completed three-year results from PROTECT, a prospective, double-masked, multinational randomized controlled trial evaluating the company's NaturalVue® (etafilcon A) Multifocal 1 Day Contact Lens for slowing the progression of myopia, or nearsightedness, in children. Ashley Tuan, OD, MS, PhD, VTI's Chief Medical Officer, will present the full findings at the American Academy of Optometry's annual meeting in Anaheim. Myopia develops when a child's eye grows too long, causing distant objects to appear blurry, and it typically worsens through childhood. Faster progression is associated with a higher lifelong risk of more serious eye conditions, including retinal detachment and myopic maculopathy, a leading cause of permanent vision loss. Slowing that progression, even modestly, is considered clinically meaningful.3,4 Over three years, children who wore NaturalVu
