Data Encryption

Encrypt Structured and Unstructured Data at Rest or In Transit

Data encryption converts usable data into an unreadable format and provides decryption only to those with proper access. PK Encryption redefines enterprise data security posture strategies with complete administrative control for finding and protecting sensitive data wherever it is stored. Incorporating encryption as a part of a holistic security strategy makes the entire infrastructure more robust and less susceptible to various attack vectors. Incorporating encryption into a data security strategy significantly elevates the protection mechanisms and builds a solid defense against a variety of threats. As cyber threats evolve and become more sophisticated, having encrypted data can serve as a final line of defense, ensuring information remains confidential and intact.

PKWARE has been leading and shaping the evolution and use of encryption to protect data at rest and in motion for over four decades. We offer the most widespread breath of encryption capabilities to ensure it’s easy to implement and supports your critical business workflows, security policies and corporate obligations for using, storing, and sharing sensitive data.

Data Encryption Benefits for Your Data Security Posture

Data Encryption

Encryption transforms data into a format that can only be read by someone who has a smart key or password. Without those, the data remains inaccessible, ensuring sensitive information is shielded from unauthorized access.

Protection Against Data Breaches

Even if a hacker or even someone that unintentionally accesses a system or intercepts data being transmitted, the data would be unreadable without the decryption key, protecting the information from unauthorized access and reducing the financial and reputational impact of a breach.

Protects Against Insider Threats

Encryption can help guard against malicious (or unintentional) actions from employees or insiders who have access to sensitive data.

Compliance with Regulations

Many regulatory standards, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS require the protection of sensitive data, which often includes using encryption.

Many regulatory standards, such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), require the protection of sensitive data, which often includes using encryption.
