Ensure Security in Cloud with Data Encryption

Here are some facts about data encryption:

• 43% of Cloud Databases are currently not encrypted.
• 64% fail to enable logging for their data storage.
• 47% do not use tracking functionalities.

Let’s understand what Cloud Encryption is

In Cloud, it is the conversion of readable data into an encoded format so that it can only read after it is been decrypted. Conceptually, those who are unauthorized users or systems do not possess any encryption key and therefore do not have access to the sensitive data or information.  There are various benefits to data encryption as it helps in safeguarding and protecting the data.

Data Encryption is done at 3 Levels:

In Transit – This is when the data is being transferred from one location to another.

At Rest – This is when the data is saved somewhere and is not being used.

In Use – This is when the data is being updated or viewed.

Why Data encryption is crucial?

*Protection of Sensitive Data– It enables privacy and helps in protecting critical documents from unauthorized access.

*Protection at all times – It protects data in motion, at rest, and in use as data is more prone to threats when in the transfer.

*Follows regulations – It is a part of compliance and follows standards and regulations, therefore, gives users the confidence that their backup is safe and secure.

*Maintains Integrity –  Data theft is a common problem but strict encryption protects your documents from alterations and the user is able to see if the data has tampered with or not.

*Provides protection on Multiple-Devices -Encryption software ensures security across all devices. Encrypts data with the same level of protection and keeps your information away from potential theft.

How DCirrus secures your data with encryption?

3 Level Encryption – In Transit, At Rest, and In Use.

256-bit key – Modern encryption algorithm with a 256-bit key to encrypt and decrypt data.
Both SSL/TSL protocol– SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol helps in keeping a connection secure between two systems while transferring data that prevents hackers from reading it. TSL (Transport Layer Security) is a more secure and advanced version of SSL.

2FA – Two Factor Authentication – Extra added layer of security as the user needs to provide 2 different authentication factors for verification.
