  • Encrypt This! How to Encrypt Enterprise Data at Scale

    10:45 AM Sunday   Room: Shoot The Breeze

    Everyone understands the importance of encrypting sensitive data. It turns out that is easier said than done in the case of at-scale business data.

    Existing approaches rely on identifying sensitive data and selectively encrypting it, which can be problematic given the vast amounts of data in today’s enterprises.

    Our solution is to encrypt ALL data everywhere – at rest and in flight – thus eliminating the guess work of selecting data. This solution is unique to IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE.

    In this session we will discuss:

    • The challenges of encrypting data at scale
    • Why just 4% of records breached since 2013 were encrypted
    • A high-level view of the hardware behind our encryption solution
    • On-prem implementations
    • Using this hardware solution in IBM Cloud
