2 types of endpoint encryption to protect data

Encryption is the key layer in any data security strategy as it ensures data cannot be read by unauthorized users. Even if multiple layers of protection fail or are breached, encrypted data stays protected.

Endpoint encryption can ensure data remains safe from unauthorized access when it is stored and transmitted to another endpoint. Two main approaches to endpoint encryption that companies can implement to protect data are full-disk encryption and file encryption.

  • Cloud computing storage key management

    Advances in technology in a commercial market have changed the shape of the traditional cloud concepts. Cloud computing has been of commercial interest not only because it offers cost-effective services, but also the easy adaptation of new technology.

    Many cloud services have advertised the high security of cloud data; however, consumers have limited access to operability in the cloud. The growth of interconnected networks has also increased the security threats on the data.

    Key management between an organisation and its data stored in the cloud infrastructure is one of the biggest challenges in achieving the assurance of the integrity and confidentiality of cloud data.
