In cyber security, people are your weakest link—will advanced encryption help or hurt? paid ExtraHop
Building encryption into products has been a critical approach for elevating privacy and protecting sensitive data without depending on the weakest link—people—to enforce rules and be smart online.
First, encryption uses infrastructure managed by IT and application teams, not security teams. Even if security provides a spec, we’ve learned over the years that IT choices and priorities seldom magically align with security best practices.indicates businesses are investing heavily in new and better encryption. It’s a way to keep sensitive data confidential, avoid data tampering, and thwart monitoring by folks who may not have a user or company’s best interests at heart.
And if you are worried enough to spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars encrypting traffic, you aren’t going to waste money on weak encryption. That’s one of the findings in this survey of 249 IT leaders. The overwhelming majority has the newest standard, Transport Layer Security version 1.3, in place or in plan for adoption shortly.
74 percent of respondents have either begun TLS 1.3 enablement for internal connections or plan to enable it for internal traffic within the next six months.All this encryption is a good thing, right? Not necessarily, for two reasons.First, encryption uses infrastructure managed by IT and application teams, not security teams. Even if security provides a spec, we’ve learned over the years that IT choices and priorities seldom magically align with security best practices. Think about it.
Even with a strong will to be secure, most IT teams lack the edge-case knowledge to recognize when their decisions or errors might affect security. System and service misconfigurations cause as many problems as attackers do at most companies. What are misconfigurations? Poor choices by the weakest link: people.
