DME Encryption Service

Database encryption increases the security of your data at rest and during transportation. With recent security vulnerabilities, many organizations have taken data encryption seriously. However, database management systems are a common target for attackers because they hold the most valuable asset for most organizations. Once an attacker has gained access to valuable data on your server, they will likely steal it. They then use the data to demand payment in exchange, manipulate data, or achieve monetary profit from the organization they have attacked.

DME Encryption Service

If you need a management services based on this pillar, consider the following steps will be applied to understand better your necessities:

  1. Assessment: Evaluate your current data management infrastructure and identify gaps in each of the five pillars.
  2. Planning: Develop a comprehensive data management strategy that incorporates encryption, backup and recovery, monitoring, performance tuning, and machine learning.
  3. Implementation: Deploy the necessary tools, technologies, and processes to realize each pillar's objectives.
  4. Testing and Validation: Rigorously test your data management services to ensure they meet security, availability, performance, and intelligence requirements.
  5. Documentation: Maintain detailed documentation for your data management processes, configurations, and procedures.
  6. Training: Train your team members on the use of these services and ensure they understand how to respond to security incidents, system failures, and performance issues.
  7. Continuous Improvement: Regularly review and update your data management strategy and technologies to stay current with evolving data management best practices and threats.

Security Regulations Compliance
Encryption is one of the most critical requirements for security regulations such as PCI-DSS. It is a statutory requirement. For example, all cardholder data must be encrypted (e.g., AES-256, RSA 2048), truncated, tokenised, or hashed (approved hash algorithms specified in FIPS 180-4: SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 SHA-512, SHA-512/224, and SHA-512/256). Although this is not the only requisite for having encrypted data, PCI-DSS also needs that the PCI-DSS encryption key management process is supported (we are going to discuss this in the future)

Protecting Sensitive Data
With centralised key management and simple APIs for data encryption, encryption key management is ideal for protecting sensitive data. Examples of these key management include using Hashicorp Vault (open source) if you use the public cloud like OCI Oracle using Oracle’s manage keys, Amazon Web Service (AWS) Key Management, likely also talking about in the near future about this.
