Data Encryption Of Offsite Data Backup

What Is Data Encryption?

Encryption is the most effective way to achieve data security. Encryption is a way of scrambling data such that it cannot be accessed or viewed by anyone except its true owner. As such, it is the most important aspect of offsite data backup

There are dozens of different forms of encryption used today, which can make it a confusing task to determine which form of encryption is best. The general rule for evaluating the strength of encryption, though, is expressed by the unit of "bits" - the more bits, the stronger the encryption.

We Offer Each Of These Levels Of Encryption

DES (Data Encryption Standard) 56 bits
TDES (Triple DES) 168 bits
Rijndael AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) 128 bits
Rijndael AES 192 bits
Rijndael AES 256 bits
Blowfish Variable Key - Up To 448 bits

Advantages Of Using Encryption

Data encryption plays a central role in ensuring that a client's activity and transactions online are private and secure. Specifically, data encryption ensures that:

Both the client and the server can be sure that they are geunuinely dealing with whom the other party claims to be.
The data sent and received is not changed or altered during transmission.
Even in the event that data is intercepted during transmission no third party can read or use the information to their own advantage.
