Massive data breaches are now spreading at an alarming rate. Confidential information and personal records are getting leaked, lost and stolen.
Ransomware attacks are also rising, with one report listing an increase of almost 70% between the first nine months of 2022 and 2023.
Use data encryption to protect your data from both physical and virtual threats. No information security strategy is complete unless data is properly protected at the source where it is stored.
Data encryption secures the confidentiality of sensitive data to address the risks of data leaks and data theft, while also ensuring regulatory compliance.
New data encryption software also provides stronger protection against brute-force attacks, which are one of the simplest and most effective ways for a hacker to breach your system.
If you store sensitive data, encryption is essential. Contact us to get started today!
