Why lose sleep worrying about your company suffering a data breach – when you can squash this risk using encryption?

In today’s digital age, it is essential that businesses take the necessary steps to protect their data and IT systems. Unfortunately, many organizations are not taking the correct measures to secure their online infrastructure, leaving them exposed to unnecessary risks. In this blog post, we will discuss why encrypting all IT systems is a must for any business who wants to stay safe in the cyber world. We’ll also look at some of the potential consequences of failing to properly secure sensitive information and how encryption can help reduce these risks. By understanding what could be at stake if they don’t act now, businesses can make sure they are doing everything possible to keep themselves protected from malicious actors.

Encryption can be thought of as a way to lock up valuable information. By using an encryption algorithm, data is turned into unreadable gibberish and can only be unlocked with the right key. This process helps ensure that confidential emails, customer records and other sensitive data are kept safe from cyber criminals who want to steal or misuse it. Additionally, encryption can also provide businesses with an extra layer of protection against data breaches or other malicious attacks.

The potential consequences of not encrypting information can be very serious. For example, if a hacker were to gain access to sensitive customer records, they could use this info for identity theft or financial fraud. Even worse, stolen data could be used to target the company itself and disrupt operations. In addition, businesses that are found not to have secured their data properly can face hefty fines from regulatory bodies depending on where they are located.

Thankfully, encrypting information is relatively straightforward and doesn’t require a lot of technical know-how. Businesses should look into using software that provides encryption for their sensitive data, as well as integrating multi-factor authentication into their systems. Doing so will help ensure that data remains secure and inaccessible to unauthorised users.

Overall, encrypting IT systems is essential for any business who wants to remain safe in today’s digital world. Not only does it protect confidential information from malicious actors, but it also helps businesses avoid potential fines and disruption to their operations. By investing in the right security measures, businesses can ensure that their data is kept safe and secure.

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,
Bob K Adhar, BE, MBA, CISSP
