The Perimeter Isn't Secure, Encrypt your Data

Protecting your network and sensitive data isn't easy. Network administrators use many technologies and techniques to ensure that basic security controls are in place:

Hackers and unauthorized intruders use creative ways to by-pass security systems and gain access to data. Even with all of the appropriate controls in place your organization may still be at risk of a security breach. Leading organizations use encryption to help protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and disclosure. Encrypting data may cause some small response time delays. In many cases, however, the impact of a hacker gaining access to sensitive data far outweighs most encryption-related performance issues.

Altius IT recommends the following encryption-related steps be taken to protect your data:

In addition to protecting information from unauthorized access, using encryption may exempt your organization from various state and federal data breach notification laws.  Network security audits help ensure sensitive data is encrypted.
