Unlocking The Right Encryption
Cyber Defense Magazine, Monday, November 4th, 2024
The ever-evolving landscape of data security demands constant vigilance, especially for those handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
A presentation by Greg Cooper, Cybersecurity SME & Security Engineer, at the USAF Cyber Monthly meeting shed light on common misconceptions surrounding data encryption and the critical role of obtaining the correct certifications for your specific data classification.
While encryption is widely understood as a crucial security measure, misconceptions abound. A common fallacy is that focusing solely on encrypting data-in-transit offers sufficient protection. The reality is far more nuanced. Technical data, for example, can also qualify as CUI, requiring robust encryption strategies.
