The Challenge
Every IT organisation wants to protect its valuable digital assets from accidental exposure or intentional misuse by cybercriminals. Many organisations have deployed a variety of point encryption solutions as a primary method of protecting sensitive data to meet various digital privacy regulations and compliance mandates.
Solution
All encryption involves three aspects: the data to be protected, the algorithm or cipher that transforms the data so that it’s unreadable, and the key, usually a random number.
You have choices in deciding how to manage keys. A host of variables drives this choice, but three typical scenarios emerge:
- Native key management tools: Using the key management capabilities that are native to an individual encryption product or cloud encryption offering.
- Localized key management platforms: Secure localized key management devices can be used to augment the deployment of individual cryptographic applications.
- Centralized key management: Used in larger scale deployments where automation is a primary concern or where unification of key management policies is desirable

Encryption and tokenisation are primary methods of protecting data but are only effective if the associated keys are protected and managed - Flexibility & Agility
Organisations are being forced to be more flexible and agile, which often means moving applications and storage to the public cloud.
Services
Key management can quickly become a labour intensive and confusing solution.
