What is Parked Data Encryption?

Parked data, or “data at rest,” refers to data stored on hard drives, cloud storage, databases, and other data storage infrastructure. This contrasts with “data in transit” and “data in use.” Data in each of these states faces distinct security risks. Encryption is one of the most important ways to protect valuable data, including securing data at rest.

Most people use encryption every day, whether they know it or not. We use encryption to access the Internet, as nearly all web connections are encrypted to prevent eavesdropping. Email, apps, and VPNs also use encryption for security. All of these services protect data in transit or data in use.

Due to its potential value, data at rest is particularly desirable to malicious hackers. Attackers often target parked data, or data at rest, for theft, ransomware, or corruption. The good news is that data can be encrypted before transmission, which is crucial for protecting stored data on servers or in the cloud.

Securing data at rest through encryption is like locking documents in a safe. It protects against breaches, unauthorized access, and physical theft, ensuring only those with the decryption key can access it.

The Value of Parked Data Encryption

Parked data encryption is a critical security measure that protects data at rest from unauthorized access and breaches. By encrypting data stored on servers, devices, and other storage media, businesses can safeguard sensitive information such as intellectual property, customer data, and financial records. This encryption is a powerful barrier, making the data unreadable without the correct decryption key.

Even if cybercriminals manage to breach the storage systems, the encrypted data remains secure and unusable. The value of parked data encryption lies in its ability to provide peace of mind. You can rest easy knowing that you are securing data and that your organization’s most valuable assets are protected.

Additionally, parked data encryption provides regulatory compliance and enhances trust with clients and stakeholders, reinforcing your organization’s security posture.

Parked Data Encryption with Alexonet

Traditional Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions, anchored in on-premises infrastructure, struggled to adapt to cloud channels and often relied on reactive, event-driven approaches with extensive rule management. Unlike these legacy systems, modern DLP solutions automate data risk assessments, ongoing sensitive data monitoring, and encryption via user-friendly SaaS platforms.

Organizations can ensure robust defense against external and internal threats by proactively protecting sensitive data with automatic encryption. Transitioning to a zero-trust data protection platform, DLP now integrates information from any security source, translating it into actionable policy recommendations and intelligent incident response rules.

Alexonet transforms data security management with a comprehensive cloud-based solution, providing continuous data auditing and real-time risk updates. Our services enable your business to feel confident that remote work is secure.

We can also help with cloud transitions by invisibly encrypting data, rendering it useless to hackers even if a breach occurs. Operating quietly in the background, Alexonet’s parked data encryption software is automatically upgraded to counter new and emerging threats. This ensures our clients are safeguarded around the clock with zero maintenance requirements.
