If encryption is a blindingly obvious protection against data breach – why isn’t every business already using it?

In todays’ world, businesses must take all necessary steps to protect their data and IT systems from cyber criminals. However, many companies are still falling short when it comes to implementing effective encryption-based protection. In this blog post, we will discuss five reasons why businesses have yet to adopt these security measures and what they can do to ensure their online infrastructure is well protected. By understanding the potential risks associated with not encrypting information as well as the benefits of doing so, businesses can make sure they are taking all possible precautions against malicious actors:

  1. The first reason why businesses may not be encrypting their data is simply a lack of awareness. Many companies are not aware that encryption is an effective way to protect sensitive information, and as such they don’t make the effort to implement it.
  2. The second reason is cost; some companies may view encryption as too expensive and therefore opt not to use it.
  3. The third reason is the complexity of encryption; some businesses may not have the technical know-how or resources required to properly implement and manage an encryption system.
  4. Fourthly, there is a fear that encrypting data could render it impossible to access in the future which can be a deterrent for some companies.
  5. Finally, some organizations may not be motivated to use encryption due to a perceived lack of risk.

However, it is important for businesses to understand that the risks associated with not encrypting data far outweigh any potential costs or inconvenience of doing so. With hackers becoming more sophisticated and regulatory bodies enforcing strict data protection rules, companies face considerable financial and reputational consequences if their sensitive information is exposed. Therefore, businesses must make sure that all of their data is encrypted and protected so that it remains secure and inaccessible to unauthorized users.

Encryption is one of the most effective ways to ensure that confidential information and by implementing encryption techniques, businesses can make sure their data remains safe from malicious actors.

A business that only encrypts its data is more secure than one that only does everything else…

Letter from the CEO

Thank you for visiting the Randtronics website.

We make enterprise encryption easy.

Smart businesses already know that only encryption can reduce the attack surface and stop the hackers from stealing their sensitive data. A company that only uses encryption is more secure than a company with all other cyber security measures. Privacy standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR are all mandating in law the protection of the citizen’s personal data. Fines for breaches are huge. You won’t get fined if your firewall is hacked. You won’t get fined if you suffer a virus or ransomware attack. You WILL get fined if you lose ANY personal data pertaining to ANY citizen. The lowest common denominator is the DATA. Data that is “Encrypted” is out of the scope of the Law.

Whilst all understand the need to protect sensitive data holistically (such as NIST Cyber Security Framework or 12 prescriptive PCI DSS guidelines) their cyber security priorities are misguided to say easy aspects and not addressing “what happens” when these fail? Encryption of data is the only direct protection measure that renders data unreadable compared to upgrading firewalls or virus and malware, IPS, log monitoring, etc. I am saying you need all methods but unless you have implemented enterprise grade encryption you are still unprotected like driving a car without “seatbelts”. “Enterprise grade encryption” as a cyber measure is the “seat belt” that saves lives in car accidents. Industry experts predict a relentless continuation of data breaches this year and penetration testing have proven perimeter defense is easily penetrable.

Randtronics has taken the challenge to make encryption easy and is innovating in many areas. We have already reduced deployment effort to days, use familiar standard components so that less skilled people can deploy and maintain systems.
I welcome discussions via email or phone as through your feedback we will be challenged to continue to innovate to the point where businesses and users do not need to be intimidated when using encryption as the worlds most powerful tool to protect their sensitive data.

Experts predict data breaches will continue at relentless pace, let Randtronics secure your business with “Enterprise grade ubiquitous encryption technology”. Time is of the essence. Why not be pro-active? I invite you to let Randtronics and its global distributors and resellers assess and assist your business directly.

Yours sincerely,
