  Encryption Myths

Myth 1) Encryption is not needed for data protection within my company

WRONG. Encryption complements the existing security infrastructure that many organisations have already invested in, such as firewalls, IDS/IPS and access control. Encryption provides a data-centric security architecture beyond that of perimeter based security, facilitating a defence in depth approach that reduces risk to sensitive data.


Myth 2) Encryption should be considered as the last step for PCI DSS compliance

WRONG. In most situations, encryption technologies can assist with providing PCI DSS compliance beyond making data ‘unreadable’. With the right choice in solutions, encryption offers many additional features such as auditing capabilities for encrypted data (Requirement 10) and ensuring need-to-know access (Requirement 7) as part of an overall solution.


Myth 3) Encryption is expensive

WRONG. Encryption and key management is affordable for both large and SMB organisations. Randtronics provides a range of solutions that accommodate for your budgetary, security and compliance needs.


Myth 4) Encryption is too difficult for Legacy Systems

WRONG. Randtronics uses a solutions based rather than product based approach and provides a variety of solutions for legacy systems, including tokenisation.


Myth 5) Compensating Controls are cheaper than Encryption

WRONG. Often people are not aware of the types of encryption solutions available which are compatible from desktop to servers to legacy systems. For instance, some of our solutions offer ‘plug & play’ encryption requiring no software code changes.


Myth 6) Encryption is hard to use for everyday applications

WRONG. Our transparent approach for encryption, focusing on ease of use, ensures that we minimise the impact on end users and applications for data protection and privacy solutions.


Myth 7) Encryption requires application integration and major system redesign

WRONG. Randtronics provides a range of solutions that have different options for integration. We can design solutions that require no application or code changes whilst still providing data protection.


Myth 8) Encryption Key Management is not important in selecting a solution

WRONG. Encryption is easy. Key Management is difficult. With any good encryption solution, key management is a critical part of ensuring the security, availability and auditability of encrypted data. Ask about our centralised key management solutions for enterprise environments.


Myth 9) Encryption is not supported for my environment

WRONG. Encryption combined with tokenisation provides a flexible approach to protecting data no matter where it resides. Randtronics can provide data privacy solutions that can support any corporate environment. Whether you have legacy or mainstream databases, central datacenters or distributed locations, 3rd party applications or custom code, legacy servers or mobile devices, Randtronics encryption experts have the solution.
