5 key recommendations for life after TrueCrypt
Encrypting your data and communications is vital in
today’s security landscape. Our security experts offer these
five key recommendations for moving beyond TrueCrypt to an
alternative for data protection.
-
Use vetted, trusted, operating system-level encryption
like
Microsoft BitLocker and Mac FileVault 2. TrueCrypt
was not using the latest technology, so now is a great
time to move to compliant encryption standards.
-
The real issue with business use of encryption has been
key management. You need good key management that
enables encryption beyond just full-disk on your
laptops.
-
Data isn't only on your disks. Users are taking it
everywhere, especially the cloud. Now's a good time to
reevaluate your data protection strategy to make sure
you're protecting data everywhere.
-
Non-Windows platforms need encryption, including OS X,
Android and iOS. And don't forget any systems still
running
Windows XP, you'll need to protect them too.
-
A thumb drive or DVD can hold sensitive records too. You
need to encrypt all your storage devices as well.
Check out our podcast below to hear from our experts John
Shier and Chester Wisniewski about what happened to
TrueCrypt, and what you should do next.
