Unlocking encryption—A key to data security

Unitrends CEO Duncan McPherson looks at how encryption has become an increasingly important technology for businesses.

Encryption is an increasingly important set of technologies that enables customers to safeguard private data in computers, across public or private networks, or in other machine-readable forms.

There is much more data at risk of being compromised than ever before. This, in conjunction with the increasing cost of a data breach, measured in both “hard” dollar terms like legal settlements, and “soft” costs such as loss of customer loyalty, makes the intelligent use of encryption and other data-protection technologies increasingly necessary for organisations of all sizes.

For the small- and medium-sized market, the ideal data encryption approach would be both affordable and easily integrated into a comprehensive data backup and business systems continuity solution. It would include powerful, standards-based encryption, and offer a robust key management function.
