About Course
As the size and frequency of data breaches increasing over time, more and more organizations are rapidly recognizing that encryption is no longer an option. They are busy formulating comprehensive strategy and shifting their stance towards encryption technologies and rapidly deploying a range of technologies to defend and protect their sensitive data from internal and external threats. Increasingly, business users are influencing the adoption of encryption technologies more than IT operations teams.
Adoption of encryption in organizations are increasing at a rapid pace as are the urgency in the encryption implementation plans. The increasing rate of adoption is due to fast evolving regulations and necessity to protect sensitive data across enterprise networks, multiple devices and especially the increasing move to storing data on a cloud.
If you think that there is only one type of encryption – think again!
Encryption considerations differ for technologies namely – database encryption, VoIP encryption, portable storage encryption, mobile devices encryption, Wi-Fi encryption, e-mail encryption, file encryption, network link encryption, web server encryption, tape backup encryption and many more.
