Why Traditional Defenses Are No Longer Enough to Protect Your Data

Many businesses continue to rely heavily on traditional security measures like firewalls, antivirus programs, physical security, auditing, and access controls to safeguard their data. While these perimeter defenses are necessary, they create a false sense of security when it comes to protecting sensitive information. Once an attacker breaches these defenses, the data itself remains fully readable, leaving financial records, personal data, and more vulnerable to exposure.

Without encryption and data masking, sensitive information is essentially left in plain sight, making data breaches inevitable and costly—often to the tune of millions. This is why encryption has become a core pillar of modern cybersecurity. Encryption ensures that even if a hacker gains access, they can’t read or use the underlying data without significant time and effort. In fact, attackers typically target businesses that lack encryption, as they are easier and quicker to exploit.

Integrating encryption into your cybersecurity strategy is critical. It transforms your data into an unreadable format for anyone without authorized access, providing robust security and an essential layer of protection.

“Don’t leave your sensitive data exposed. Discover how Randtronics’ advanced encryption solutions can protect your business, even if traditional defenses fail. Contact us today to explore a solution tailored to your security challenges.”

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,
