“Digital Transformation of the world is well underway, moving physical industry off physical paper and onto virtual computers. Everything we do today as we go about our lives is governed by computer software and the data that feeds it. That means that data is becoming more and more valuable and sensitive. Whether it’s financially valuable (such as account numbers) or safety-critical (such as power grid controls), the data needs to be protected for secrecy, privacy, integrity, and availability to keep our physical world running smoothly on its virtual rails,” Jon Geater, CTO at Thales e-Security, told Help Net Security.
