Virtru Developer Experience

Reflection of a business man on a glass wall.

Leverage the Virtru Data Security Platform

The Virtru Data Security Platform offers pre-built policy enforcement points (PEPs) that enable seamless data-centric security within applications where data is shared. For custom applications or data flows lacking pre-built options, flexible developer tools allow teams to quickly embed data-centric security into existing workflows and applications without extensive redesign or performance overhead.

Fast Integration with Low/No-Code Tools

Low-code/no-code tools, like Apache NiFi, enable you to automate the movement, transformation, and routing of data between different systems and sources in a scalable, flexible, and easily configurable manner.

Virtru’s custom Apache NiFi processors enable anyone – like business analysts, IT professionals, and technical managers – to embed attribute-based access control (ABAC) directly into data workflows, enforcing granular, context-aware policies with minimal effort or disruption.

Precise Access Control

Implement ABAC to enforce granular, context-aware data access policies based on user, system, and data attributes, ensuring secure, compliant data handling.

Quick Data Security Integration

Quickly extend data-centric security into your existing NiFi data flows, securing data in motion with minimal setup.

Efficient Security Automation

Automatically encase your data in a Trusted Data Format (TDF) wrapper, enabling object-level access control and policy updates as data moves through its lifecycle

Quickly Build Code-Level Customizations

Virtru’s Data Security Platform provides SDKs and proxies to support secure, data-centric integrations for developers aiming to implement code-level customizations. These tools offer robust, native data protection capabilities that integrate seamlessly with custom-built and commercial applications. This ensures the flexibility to meet unique security needs while preserving the integrity of existing workflows.

Proxies act as PEPs, serving as intermediaries between your application and the data source, enforcing security policies transparently. Proxies integrate robust data-centric protection into your architecture with minimal disruption, preserving existing architectures, code, and workflows.

Flexible Security Layer

Add a transparent security layer to your applications, invisible to the user, without altering architecture. Proxies enforce policies over existing applications, allowing you to quickly add security to the apps you already use.

Performance-Optimized

Maintain high performance for SQL queries, S3 operations, and other workflows while ensuring robust security, with no performance trade-offs.

Virtru Data Security Platform Proxies

Trino Proxy: Secure data at the query layer without modifying queries or data sources, safeguarding sensitive information across datasets without affecting performance or analytics.

S3 Proxy: Secure AWS S3 and S3-compatible storage with encryption and policy enforcement for data at rest and in transit, integrating smoothly into existing workflows without changing storage endpoints.

Virtru’s SDKs enable developers to easily integrate data-centric security into applications. Embedding features like granular access controls and end-to-end encryption, these SDKs allow secure customization within bespoke and commercial apps. With complete documentation and support for multiple languages, Virtru’s SDKs ensure flexible, lightweight builds that adapt seamlessly to your tech stack.

Streamlined Integration

Quickly embed ABAC and end-to-end encryption into applications, ensuring secure data sharing without major architecture changes.

Complete Documentation and Sample Code

Access detailed documentation and sample code to implement advanced security features quickly and easily.

Multi-Language Support

Available for Go, Java, and JavaScript, Virtru SDKs fit right into your tech stack.

Future-Proof Security

Adapt to evolving compliance needs and security threats to ensure long-term protection.

OpenTDF: Accessible, Adaptable Security

The Virtru Data Security Platform is a powerful commercial solution built on OpenTDF, an open-source project designed to make data-centric security more accessible and adaptable. For developers, this open-source foundation means you have options: Use the Virtru Data Security Platform’s ready-to-deploy features, or directly engage with OpenTDF to build highly customized, efficient solutions.

Why Choose OpenTDF?

While the Virtru Data Security Platform simplifies deployment and offers enterprise-ready features like out-of-the-box PEPs, automated and manual data tagging, encrypted search, HSM support, audit reporting, and more, developing directly against OpenTDF can be ideal for:

Direct OpenTDF integration provides full access to underlying APIs, allowing you to craft custom data policies and controls tailored to your application’s specific security and privacy requirements — without limitations or vendor lock-in. Platform-Page-Images_DSP 1
