CipherCloud has released a new security solution for the Salesforce AppExchange that should help users to better control and protect data on the cloud.

The Data Discovery and Monitoring solution includes capabilities that monitor user activity, creating reports on the potential abuse of confidential information.

Pravin Kothari, founder and CEO of CipherCloud, said: "Today’s announcement reinforces our commitment to enable Salesforce users to proactively defend their intellectual property, personally identifiable information and other forms of sensitive data from a broad range of security and compliance risks."

Leyla Seka, VP of AppExchange at Salesforce.com, added: "CipherCloud is leveraging the power of the Salesforce Platform to enable additional cloud protection options to help mutual customers continue collaborating and innovating in the cloud."

CipherCloud, which recently released its encryption for Box service, reported a 200% year-on-year rise in growth this year.
