In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating dynamic end-to-end integrity for data repositories in an on-demand services environment, where a database system-implemented method includes receiving, by the database system, a content file and metadata to be submitted to a data repository of the database system. The content file may include content, where the metadata may include identifying data associated with at least one of the content and a user associated with the content. The method may include verifying, by the database system, the identifying data of the metadata. The verification of the identifying data represents authentication of at least one of the user and the content. The method may include submitting, by the database system, the content file and the metadata to the data repository, upon authentication of at least one of the user and the content via successful verification of the identifying data.

Embodiments include an apparatus for securing customer data and include a processor, and one or more stored sequences of instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to store an encrypted first key fragment in a first storage area, store an encrypted second key fragment in a separate second storage area, wherein access to the first storage area and to the second storage area is mutually exclusive. The instructions further cause the processor to decrypt the encrypted first key fragment and the encrypted second key fragment using a key set and keys associated with a hardware security module based on receiving a request to derive a master key. The master key is derived using the decrypted first key fragment and the decrypted second key fragment and stored in an in-memory cache. The master key is used to encrypt or to decrypt encrypted customer data.

Application authorization management is provided without installation of an agent at an operating system level. A component runs outside of the operating system, in an AMT environment. AMT is utilized to examine the operating system for applications. Identified applications are checked against a whitelist or a blacklist. Responsive to determining that an identified application is not authorized, AMT is used to redirect input/output requests targeting the application to an alternative image, which can, for example, warn the user that the application is not authorized.
