BYOK ENCRYPTION
In the world of enterprise software, the importance of data security is paramount. This is especially true for those companies which have multiple systems, users, and customers, like Salesforce. With Salesforce Release Management solutions, Data Backup and Recovery, and proper Security protocols, businesses are presented with a range of options for making sure their data remains safe and protected. One such solution is Bring Your Own Key encryption, also known as BYOK, which is an excellent method for ensuring data stays secure in an ever-changing digital landscape. When talking about BYOK encryption, we are referring to encryption of data in a cloud environment, where companies bring their own key to secure their cloud storage. BYOK encryption is enabled by a ‘key management system’ which interacts with your public and private cloud environment to provide the secure digital key. This key is held and managed separately from the cloud provider, and so gives the company peace of mind that their data remains safe from malicious actors looking to gain control of it. BYOK gives companies a lot more control over their data than standard cloud security. This is because the key is not stored in the cloud, but rather is kept in the company's own offsite servers. Companies are then able to monitor their data and activity and make sure that the data remains secure. As a result, if an employee or customer were to compromise the system, whether accidentally or maliciously, the encryption key will remain secure and the data will remain safe. A further benefit of BYOK encryption is that it allows for encryption at rest. This means that when a file is uploaded to the cloud provider, it is secured by the encryption key before leaving the customer’s premises. This keeps the data in a secure state, even when it is stored in the cloud. Furthermore, when the data is retrieved from the cloud and returns to the customer’s premises, it can be decrypted with the encryption key, and made available for use once more. For companies looking to leverage Salesforce Release Management, backup and recovery solutions, and other security protocols, integrating BYOK encryption should be a top priority. By choosing to secure your data with BYOK, your company will have the assurance that its data is kept safe, and that the risks associated with potential security breaches will be reduced significantly. The integration process is relatively straightforward, and once it is complete, your company will be able to rest easy knowing that its data is properly encrypted and secure.
