Proactive Protection, a new direction of cyber security

Proactive protection is what we at APF Technologies  believe in and what we provides. We firmly believe it is, and will be,  the future direction of the cyber security. It means to encrypt the information at all time so even when you loss those files to hacking, misuse, or just accidentally misplaced, no information is at risk.
So far much of the effort to secure security has been building defensive line through firewalls, anti-virus, as well as early detection and remediation effort like SIMS. All those are absolutely necessary and effective for most of the time, but when it fails, the damage is done. The indictment in DNC hacking cases is good reminder of just how valuable the security system can be when a good old fashion email phishing could easily defeat all the sophisticated security measures that was in place.
But why hasn’t proactive protection like encryption at rest been adapted widely? It is, at least up to now, difficult to balance security and productivity as well as the complexity of the key management system. Encryption requires a good key management system in place so encrypted files can be shared and accessed, and that is, or was, the missing pieces.
APF's Cyber Privacy and Information Protection and Access Control solution is a disturbing technology that enable Encryption at Rest 2.0. It ensures every file you have are encrypted and stay encrypted anywhere anytime. In the worst scenario where the system is hacked and files are being stolen, and you can still say nothing is lost. Won’t that feel great?
