Multifactor Encryption Explained

Cryptography and encryption have been trusted for secure communication for thousands of years. Dating back to its use in ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman culture to preserve religious knowledge, hide secret messages, and secure military communication. Today, in a world where cyber threat actors are relentless in their efforts to compromise and exfiltrate the most sensitive data assets, encryption plays a significant role in protecting unstructured data in the face of cyber threats. While the need for encryption remains clear, what isn’t always obvious to those tasked with protecting trade secrets, intellectual property, PHI, PII, and other sensitive data is a modern-day approach to file encryption.
