About Data Encryption
Data is one of the most valuable assets of an organization as it contains business secrets, personal customer data, and strategic information. This data needs to be protected from malicious actors trying to gain unauthorized access, which is where data encryption comes in as the last line of defense against data breaches: Data encryption is a security method that translates data into a code, or ciphertext, that can only be read by users with access to a secret key or password.
Implement Strong Encryption Policies and Protect Cryptographic Keys
To achieve robust data encryption, organizations need tools that help them manage access rights, identify what data should be encrypted, and ensure that it remains protected across all locations. Another critical aspect of this process is protecting the cryptographic keys that enable encryption and decryption. The gold standard for preventing key exposure is the use of Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), which generate, manage, and store cryptographic keys in a tamper-resistant environment.
Solutions for Data Encryption
Utimaco offers a File and Folder Encryption solution for organizations of all sizes that protects data at rest and in motion while providing intuitive, role-based user and access management. To further enhance security, Utimaco’s FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified Hardware Security Modules can generate, manage, and store the cryptographic keys required for encryption. Additionally, we offer solutions for classified environments, enabling encryption of data classified as VS-NfD, EU- or NATO-restricted.
