Companies are still making the transition to the Cloud and other digital methods. While it is true that technology and software deliver easier access to data and information, systems have to be set it in place that protect that data and information. For the safety of your customers, partners and employees, once you go digital, it is time to beef up your company’s IT department.
Here are three reasons why cloud encryption and cloud data security go hand in hand.
What is Encryption?
When data and information are encrypted, it means that they are protected with a layer of code. Encryption is widely used for emails and other sensitive information sent over public internet. While it is traveling or being stored in the Cloud, even if the information is intercepted, it cannot be read without the necessary decryption key.
Why do I need to secure my data?
Encryption is a widely used form of security, and is needed in protect your data from individuals and groups with malicious intent. Encryption anonymizes the data, protecting the data privacy and preventing data loss. Only the enterprises with valid decryption keys retain exclusive control over the encrypted data, allowing them to securely share the data over cloud with trusted entities.
What Happens during a Cloud Breach?
Compliance laws in many regions are increasingly recognizing that leaks of encrypted data do not constitute a data breach (Safe Harbor), if the encryption keys have not been exposed. Hence if your data is protected through encryption, sensitive information such as, PII, PCI, HIPAA etc., remains protected from unnecessary disclosure and abuse.
