MongoDB Queryable Encryption is said to significantly reduce the risk of data exposure for organisations and improves developer productivity by providing built-in encryption capabilities for highly sensitive application workflows - such as searching employee records, processing financial transactions, or analysing medical records - with no cryptography expertise required.
Sahir Azam, chief product officer at MongoDB, said: 'Protecting data is critical for every organisation, especially as the volume of data being generated grows and the sophistication of modern applications is only increasing. Organisations also face the challenge of meeting a growing number of data privacy and customer data protection requirements.
'Now, with MongoDB Queryable Encryption, customers can protect their data with state-of-the-art encryption and reduce operational risk-all while providing an easy-to-use capability developers can quickly build into applications to power experiences their end-users expect.'
Data protection is the top priority among organisations across industries today as they face a growing number of regulations and compliance requirements to protect personally identifiable information (PII), personal health information (PHI), and other sensitive data. A common data protection capability organisations use to protect data is encryption, where sensitive information is made unreadable by cryptographic algorithms using an encryption key - and only made readable again using a decryption key customers securely manage.
