Data comes across as the most valuable organizational asset with undeniable legal sensitivities associated with it. It is thus important to protect the same in the best possible manner. Data encryption is one such method which ensures the protection of companies’ sensitive information from malicious parties. However, considering that the entire process of implementing encryption is excruciatingly intrusive and slow, businesses often wonder, if they really need to opt for it.

Why Would a Business Require Encryption?

The blatant truth is that businesses require encryption to protect sensitive data, keep up with the legal considerations, abide by the global compliance policies and safeguard customer interests. High-profile breaches are commonly encountered and the most basic way of defending against cyber attacks is to implement encryption as an essential business strategy.

Encrypted data sets are immune to accidental losses and are typically identified by the hackers in unusable forms. Further, mobile devices need full-disk encryption strategies to disallow hackers to boot and break into the system files. Organizations, therefore, must look to include encryption as an important business-survival tool.

Be it hacking into the credit card details of individuals or stealing highly sensitive information, malicious parties prefer leveraging user data under false identities. Organizations, thus, require encryption to keep off the identity threats and other data loss.

Another reason for using encryption is to safeguard the proprietary information. Last but not the least, upon encrypting the databases or opting for full-disk data encryption, organizations can stop the undue exposure of their corporate documents; therefore protecting employee information, internal conversations and other kinds of confidential insights. Encryption ensures the safety of data for hassle-free operation of businesses.

Enlisting the Existing Options

Not all encryption measures are created alike and it is important to look into each one of the existing strategies.

1. Data Encryption

This is a program specific encryption measure that restricts document access via watermarks and specific locking techniques. It also enables organizations to trace the leak source, when and if the data is compromised.

2. Network Encryption

Organizations with larger and spread out perimeters mostly look for enterprise-grade strategies to encrypt the data sets. Network encryption is, therefore, an essential strategy for securing and managing mobile communications.

3. Cloud Encryption

These encryption techniques are usually rendered by the cloud-service providers. Data encryption comes as a staple security package with the existing services and safeguards every form of data that’s stored within the cloud-based servers.
