ENCRYPTION
Digital transformation often requires the exchange and transmission of confidential data over the Internet, which by its very nature does not provide any security. Encryption, with effective key management, protects confidential and sensitive data when it is stored and transferred over unsecured networks, making data accessible only to those properly authorized. Therefore, it ensures privacy in digital communications but also in the storage of sensitive information.
Enterprises are deploying encryption to deal with:
Growing cyber threats
With new business operational models through digital transformation and innovation, confidential data is no longer isolated and inaccessible. Furthermore, the benefits of cloud computing lead more and more organizations to move data to remote locations and external computing infrastructures, they don’t fully control. At the same time, cyber criminals with new and sophisticated attacks target valuable data or intellectual property. Encryption can’t protect against a malicious code attack, but it can ensure that valuable and sensitive data remains unreadable.
Regulatory compliance
As businesses try to use technology innovation to drive growth and profitability, industry standards and government regulations are mandating compliance. Government regulations such as the EU GDPR and NIS require tight controls on networks, information and privacy.
Cryptography allows information security professionals to enforce policies whether sensitive data is traversing networks or stored on premise, on cloud or on mobile devices.
