Improving Data Storage Security Through Dedicated Encryption Key Life-cycle Management

To address evolving IT security threats and establish controls over data assets, ITSC is deploying a comprehensive data-at-rest encryption system. With the support of a centralised key management system, ITSC is equipped with advanced tools to set access policies and secure storage locations to ensure automatic data protection. The system also uses zero-downtime data transformation for automatic data encryption and includes advanced privileged user controls for performing backups and updates without viewing decrypted data. These security features exert only minimal performance impact due to hardware-accelerated encryption in modern CPUs.
