Data Protection is More than Just Encryption

Data protection solutions must be able to define and enforce:

All aspects of how data is secured
Who is permitted to access specific data
What form data takes when it is unsecured

This ensures that sensitive data is properly protected and only exposed to the level required for specific business needs.

85% of IT leaders report being somewhat or very concerned about unsecured sensitive data at the application layer, but less than 25% encrypt data their data at the application level before data is stored. Doing so has simply been too complex to be practical…until now.
EncryptRIGHT – complexity solved.

I always find it interesting when our perceptions of how things work do not match up with reality. We were in a meeting not long ago with a large customer, discussing their encryption deployment, and a simple exchange highlighted a common misunderstanding of data protection: Us: “You may want to consider application level data protection so that your data is not in the clear when it leaves the database.” Customer (CEO): “What do you mean our encrypted data is […]
