Data Security in 2024: Why File and Folder Encryption Is Your Frontline Defense

In the fast-paced, high-stakes world of cybersecurity, every moment counts, and data vulnerabilities lurk at every corner. 

With attackers more relentless than ever, protecting sensitive information isn’t just about following protocol - it’s about survival. We feel Gartner®2024 Hype Cycle™ for Data Security makes it clear: businesses need airtight data security governance, ironclad access control, and relentless data loss prevention. At Utimaco, we couldn’t agree more, and that’s why LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption is designed to bring the rigor, adaptability, and unbreakable encryption your data demands.

Here’s how LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption can help you stay ahead of the game, leveraging Gartner’s most urgent insights on the frontlines of data security.

Data Security Governance: Beyond Compliance—To Survival

Gartner report reveals a pressing truth: data security governance is more crucial than ever, especially for organizations handling sensitive, mission-critical information. Today’s data security governance isn’t just about following the rules; it’s about warding off every possible threat from inside to outside. Imagine this: your sensitive data, shielded by consistent, bulletproof encryption, no matter where it lives. That’s where LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption steps in. With file-and-folder-level encryption, LAN Crypt allows you to enforce data security policies with surgical precision, offering granular controls to secure sensitive data across the organization.

Why It’s Urgent: We believe Gartner shows that without a solid data security governance strategy, sensitive data becomes a ticking time bomb. With LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption, you ensure that data stays secure with authorized users and away from unauthorized ones.

Data Access Governance (DAG): Protecting What Matters Most

As hybrid work reshapes the digital landscape, data is scattered across platforms and devices, making clear-text data especially vulnerable. Data Access Governance (DAG), according to Gartner, is critical for organizations looking to limit access to high-risk data assets effectively. With LAN Crypt’s granular encryption, your organization has the power to secure files and folders wherever they are stored, ensuring that only the right people have access. This kind of precision is exactly what DAG calls for—and with LAN Crypt File and Folder, it’s fully achievable.

What’s at Stake: We feel the report emphasizes the dangers of oversharing and unauthorized access. With LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption’s precision encryption, you get an edge in protecting clear-text data where it’s most vulnerable.

Don’t wait – act now on Gartner DAG guidance and learn how LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption can reinforce your access control strategy.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Stop Data Leaks Before They Happen

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a critical tool, especially for organizations with hybrid and multi-cloud environments where data is scattered. But traditional DLP tools often falter when it comes to distributed environments. Enter LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption: while DLP tools are scanning and tracking, LAN Crypt goes a step further, encrypting sensitive data at the file and folder level. Whether data is on-premises or on the move, LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption ensures it’s protected, aligning with Gartner’s call for resilient data loss prevention strategies.

Why Act Now: As Gartner warns, “Cloud-native solutions act as a good starting point for DLP implementation in organizations with a cloud-first strategy, enabling seamlessly integrated controls for mitigating the risk posed by cloud and SaaS data sprawl”.  

Utimaco’s LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption does just that, fortifying your data with robust encryption that adapts to your needs—today and tomorrow.

Data Security is Non-Negotiable—LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption Delivers Security

As we believe the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ reveals, today’s data security landscape demands more than just a reactive approach. It calls for a fortress-level commitment to protecting every piece of data, in every file, folder, and storage environment. Utimaco’s LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption is built to deliver on this promise, transforming your data governance strategy with targeted, resilient encryption.

What LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption Solution Delivers:

  • Transparent Encryption: Transparent encryption ensures that users are unaware of the encryption process, seamlessly integrating it into their workflow without necessitating changes to established organization procedures.
  • Role-based Access Control: All organization data is fully encrypted and can only be accessed and decrypted by users with corresponding access control.
  • Advanced DLP Support: LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption pairs with your DLP strategy, adding an extra layer of protection that goes beyond detection, securing your data before it’s ever at risk.

The Time to Act is Now

In a world where threats evolve faster than policies can adapt, encryption is your last line of defense, and LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption is here to strengthen it. As we feel the Gartner report makes clear, failing to secure your data today could mean exposing your organization to unprecedented risk tomorrow. Don’t wait for a breach to reveal the gaps in your security. Equip your organization with the power of LAN Crypt File and Folder Encryption and embrace a new standard in data security.
