Encryption

Encryption is a practical method used to protect valuable data from unwanted or unauthorized access.  Today, more corporations and even small businesses are going mobile with laptops, iPads, and notebooks. While this provides a convenient way to streamline a business, it also introduces the very real possibility of information theft. If a laptop or other mobile device is lost or stolen, your corporate information, files, and financials could fall into the wrong hands.

Encryption protects against this ever-growing problem by rendering your documents and information unreadable to anyone who does not have the proper key which decrypts the text.

When is information vulnerable and in need of encryption?

• Transit - If your data is not encrypted, it can be monitored and captured during any form of online communication. This includes e-mails, online banking sites, or while using public Wi-Fi networks.
• Theft - Laptops and notebooks are much more vulnerable to theft than stationary office equipment.
• Transfer Between Devices - Information transferred or stored on devices such as USB sticks or smartphones are especially susceptible if not protected by encryption.
