Database Encryption
Most security initiatives are reactive, defensive strategies, aimed at protecting the perimeter of the network. But, these efforts may ignore a crucial vulnerability - sensitive data stored on networked servers is at risk from attackers who only need to find one way inside the network to access this confidential information. Additionally, perimeter defenses like firewalls cannot protect stored sensitive data from the internal threat - employees with the means to access and exploit this data.
Encryption can provide strong, proactive security for data at rest, but developing a database encryption strategy must take many factors into consideration. For example, where should the encryption be performed - in the database or in the application where the data originates? Who should have access to the encryption keys? How much data must be encrypted to provide security? What's an acceptable trade-off between data security and application performance?
Your organization needs a comprehensive solution for data encryption, de-identification, and masking that does not require costly and time-consuming data schema and data format changes in existing systems; one that ensures sensitive data is protected end-to-end.
