Data governance is more than a requisite part of data management that handles vast amounts of and numerous types of data. It helps form the solid foundation of a sound encryption strategy, making the application of encryption more targeted and effective. Data governance should be the precursor to every organization’s encryption strategy. DATA GOVERNANCE Data governance encompasses whatever is needed for making sure that data is safe, reliable, complete, appropriately accessib

At XSOC CORP, we have always maintained the necessity of using quantum-safe cryptography and encryption solutions. Quantum computing or more specifically, Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers (CRQCs): quantum computers capable of breaking current cryptography, is a disruptor that is poised to have all industries undergo transformation yet again. However, it is its potential as a tool of those with nefarious purposes that should draw the most attention. The arrival of

The importance of data security and encryption’s role in it has never been more evident than in 2021. Here are a few lessons and reflections organizations can use to help create a solid foundation for addressing data security with the arrival of the new year. THE ZERO TRUST MODEL PROVIDES DATA-CENTRIC SECURITY The Zero Trust approach to security acknowledges a sobering fact about the modern, digital age: The likelihood of a cyberattack is a certainty. Using technologies and p
