Data Encryption
Prevent Unauthorized Access to Sensitive Data Encrypted at Rest & in Transit with SecureNAS®
FIPS 140-2 level 3
The U.S. government uses the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-2 (FIPS PUB 140-2) to approve cryptographic modules. To earn this certification, organizations must pass rigorous inspections of both hardware and software.
FIPS 140-2 level 3 data protection actively encrypts and secures your information. Security measures include two-factor authentication and multiple user access points, preventing remote hacking or unauthorized access without physical possession.
What is Data Encryption?
Data encryption converts your confidential data into a complex algorithm that only someone with access to the key can decrypt.
Our proprietary software encrypts information to ensure its security. Authorized users provide the encryption keys, so even if someone intercepts the data, they can’t access it without proper decryption.
Why is it important?
In today’s world, data is more accessible and desirable than ever before. This increase in the value of information has led to an increased need for protection which can only come from encryption. Companies use it as an essential tool to protect the integrity, authenticity, and availability of their data.Encryption provides a high level of protection for your sensitive data.
You can use encryption to verify the integrity and authenticity of data while protecting it from unauthorized access or tampering by malicious actors, such as hackers. In some cases, regulations may explicitly require encryption to ensure compliance. To stay ahead in today’s fast-paced industry, organizations can implement a range of methods to strengthen network security against evolving cyber threats.
Ultimate Security
The most commonly used type of symmetric algorithm in modern computing? The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), under guidance from the Department of Defense (DoD), designed AES-256.
What is an Encryption Key?
Ciphertex® encryption key is a single, private hardware key that ensures your data stays safe. SecureNAS® uses mathematically linked paired keys for encryption. You can use either key to encrypt data, but only the matching paired key can decrypt it.
This makes it the preferred method for individuals who need to transmit data quickly without risking compromise.
How does data encryption work?
Data encryption is the process of transforming readable data into an unreadable format. The goal of data encryption is to protect the privacy of the data’s owner as well as to prevent unauthorized access to the information. There are various methods of encrypting data, but all involve a transformation of the plaintext into an encrypted form.
In order to encrypt data, you need both an encryption algorithm and an encryption key. The encryption algorithm converts plaintext into ciphertext, while the encryption key unlocks the ciphertext and restores it to plaintext.
The encryption key is a secret piece of information that must be kept confidential. If someone else gains access to your encryption key, they will be able to decrypt your data and read it aloud. The encryption key is a critical component of data encryption. The key unlocks the encrypted data and converts it back into its original form. Without the key, the encrypted data is unreadable. The encryption key must be kept confidential and secure, as it is the only way to access the encrypted information.
If you are looking for a way to protect your data from catastrophic security breaches, consider using data encryption. Encrypting your data can help keep it safe from hackers and unauthorized access.
Catastrophic security breaches top world headlines every day, and for good reason. Experts project that global cybercrime costs will grow by 15 percent per year over the next five years, reaching $10.5 trillion USD annually by 2025. Stolen or weak passwords cause 61% of security breaches.As a result, IT organizations can’t rely exclusively on passwords to protect access to corporate data. They have to adopt stronger employee and vendor authentication—or risk becoming the next target.
Ciphertex Protect®
The Ciphertex Protect® is a hardware encryption key that provides strong phishing defense and can secure legacy or modern systems. This product features multi-protocol security capabilities with the ability to authenticate via two-factor authentication.
The new Ciphertex Protect® security keys are designed to keep your information protected at the highest level of assurance. They meet or exceed criteria set by NIST SP800-63B guidelines, preferred for use in government and regulated industries.
