And cryptography itself is the absolute foundation to WHAT you're protecting and HOW it's being protected. The past, present and future of data protection is dependent upon a proper understanding of crypto-hygiene and practice. Join us in this entertaining but educational session on Crypto-Hygiene 101 to learn what buying a new toothbrush and picking the right conditioner have to do with protecting your organizations' most sensitive data. Through real-world examples from historical incidents we will demonstrate some of the common challenges associated with encryption-based solutions. Our presentation will be rounded-out by practical recommendations that can be put to use TODAY to enact proper crypto hygiene and ultimately deliver more confidentiality, availability and integrity for an organization's most critical systems and information.
