Protect your keys - or don’t bother encrypting your data

Encryption has seen quite an evolution. The technology, which can be traced back to somewhere between 1900-1500 BC, is on the cusp of entering the quantum era. But while encryption solutions may change and adapt, the importance of protecting the keys remains constant. In fact, the more effective the encryption technology, the more the keys need protecting.

Watch this quick-fire webinar to learn more about the importance of protecting your keys and the role a hardware security module can play – as well as a bit about the history of cryptography.
