IBM Data Encryption Technologies

As a crucial security tool, data encryption helps ensure that information is genuine and not altered. Data encryption algorithms convert plaintext into encrypted text that can only be decoded using encryption keys. Data encryption also helps prevent accidental or malicious data corruption in the transmission between systems and storage locations.

IBM offers a wide range of encryption technologies for data to ensure the security of your company’s sensitive data. Our products include secure key management systems, encryption of databases and files and encryption of data at rest in cloud or on-premises environments. Our solutions support your security goals and compliance requirements while reducing the cost and the complexity of implementing security changes.

Data encryption at rest is essential because more employees are working remotely. It can help protect information from unauthorized access, such as lost or stolen equipment, password sharing, and permissions to grant. It can also reduce the impact of ransomware attacks, malware infections, and remote data deletion.

To successfully implement a strategy for data encryption it is essential to begin with a robust, scalable solution and implement it across your entire organization. The ideal data encryption solution should be transparent to ensure that it protects data without the intervention of a human and will provide industry-leading encryption standards that guard against threats like side-channel attacks and encryption. The solution must be scalable to support growing data volumes and user-friendly so that you can reduce the impact on productivity of employees. It is also essential to manage the encryption keys so they are secure from attacks like phishing, social engineering and other attacks.
