Security News > 2021 > November > From fragmented encryption chaos to uniform data protection

This hodgepodge of encryption systems prevents knowing with all certainty what is encrypted in each data state-resulting in a data perimeter potentially riddled with holes or expensive overlaps.

There are many accounts of data breaches in organizations that assumed encryption would protect their data when stored or transmitted.

Leaving data security to the application adds to the complexity-requiring many per-application encryption instances to be deployed and managed.

Enterprise IT needs a single uniform software construct for securing data that covers all states of data anywhere that eliminates potential gaps and complexity.

Perhaps even more powerfully, it subsumes those capabilities as a service of the underlying software stack, creating a singular, transparent, and impenetrable data perimeter that virtually eliminates data attack surfaces, even in multi-cloud environments.

Implementing encryption as a seamless, integrated system across public cloud infrastructure will enable organizations to dramatically improve data security while reducing management complexity and costs.
