Protect sensitive data with these five free encryption apps

Crypto-World - news 01.03.2019 00:40 Mark Kaelin: Protecting customers´ personal data is vitally important to the future success of every organization. Encrypting that data with one of these apps is a good place to start. Numerous high-profile events in 2017 and early 2018 have made it abundantly clear that all enterprises and government agencies are responsible and liable for the protection of personal data collected from customers and clients—no exceptions. New regulations, such as the GDPR, which goes into effect May 25, 2018, will back those expectations of protection with substantial penalties and fines for the noncompliance. To avoid potential fines, organizations need to demonstrate initiative by establishing measurable security protocols that protect collected personal data. One of most common methods for protecting stored data is encryption.
