There is a simple truth in information security: Everything can be hacked. It’s just a matter of time. Therefore, one of the main objectives of a security professional is to make things as difficult as possible for the attacker. Encryption won’t completely prevent an attack, but it will reduce the likelihood that one will occur or that the stolen information will be useful to others. Do you have effective encryption strategies in place? Is encryption part of your arsenal in the war against cybercrime?
Join our panel of experts as they discuss the latest developments and encryption techniques designed to help you create additional layers of protection as you fight to keep your data safe and secure.
