Company policies, industry-specific standards and government-issued compliance regulations: many organizations are not just advised but strictly mandated to do everything in their power to ensure the security of business-critical information at all-time. The consequences for failing to meet these requirements can range from reputational damage to hefty fines – and a lot of headaches in between.
Currently, the most advised solution for ensuring information security is encryption; the process of rendering information completely unreadable for unauthorized individuals. The challenge with encryption is that there is a great deal of confusion surrounding the technology due to the many variants that exisit on the market.
Encryption is frequently used as a general term and sometimes considered the “be all and end all” solution for information security. In reality, encryption comes in all shapes and sizes, and the differences must be understood when choosing the right one for the job.
Putting it simply, choosing the wrong type of encryption may well mean your organization ends up only partially securing information by unnecessarily exposing it during its lifecycle.
This guide is meant to cut through all the noise and provide a clear description on how to guarantee constant information security with the holy grail of encryption: end-to-end encryption.
