More organisations are planning to deploy encryption in response to geopolitical changes, but confidence in organisations’ ability to secure and protect encryption is low, a survey shows
Recent geopolitical changes are driving concern about data privacy in the security industry, resulting in the increasing use of encryption to protect data, a survey has revealed.
Nearly three-quarters of more than 900 RSA Conference 2017 attendees polled at the event in San Francisco said recent political events had made them more concerned about privacy.
As a result, two-thirds (66%) said their organisations are looking to increase their use of encryption, according to the survey by Venafi , a provider of protection for cryptographic keys and digital certificates.
“The tension between data privacy and national security is going to continue to escalate,” said Jeff Hudson, CEO of Venafi.
