As the frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks and data breaches continue to increase and quantum computing advancements now threaten to break many traditional cryptography and data protection mechanisms, organizations need to adopt agile strategies to safeguard their most sensitive data. In the first segment of our three-part series, we discussed the need to view crypto-agility […]

Advancements in computing technology and a rapidly evolving threat landscape are compelling government and enterprise organizations to rethink their approach to how they optimize their applications to safeguard sensitive data. While much of the recent conversation on the concept of crypto-agility has focused on the ability to smoothly transition to post-quantum (PQ) resistant algorithms, crypto-agility […]

At a time when data breaches and cyber threats continue to increase in frequency and sophistication, protecting critical data has become more important than ever. While traditional approaches that safeguard data at rest and in transit deliver protection, their use alone does not provide comprehensive security. The migration to the cloud and the proliferation of […]

It's no longer only the concern of governments and corporations: encryption is both lock and key to cybersecurity across a range of organizations, of all sizes.  In 2016, the Ponemon Institute calculated the average total cost of a data breach to be $4 million. The next two years sees the chances of 10,000 lost or […]

“…to subpoena-proof the cloud!” We had asked one of our largest customers what they were looking to accomplish with the deployment of our application-level data protection software.  This was their response. This certainly did not seem like the typical statement of requirements for a data protection solution! I’ve been in data and network security for nearly […]

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 […]
