Keeping your data safe with Vormetric Transparent Encryption from Thales and The Bunker

Encryption has been utilised since WWII to safeguard data from potential threats, and although the methodologies employed may have changed, the basic premise is the same: encryption renders your data unusable should it fall into the wrong hands. This means that even if potential attackers manage to get through your cyber security safeguards, your data will still remain protected.

The other advantage of encryption is that it can support your business in achieving compliance with strict industry standards, helping you to avoid fines and reputational damage should you suffer a data breach. And although it is a basic preventative measure, it is important to remember that encryption is a fundamental precaution that every business should take in order to safeguard their most valuable assets.

When it comes to the right encryption solution then, it is vital to choose one that’s easy to deploy and maintain, whilst offering continuous protection. That’s why we opted for Vormetric Transparent Encryption from Thales as our chosen partner.
