Encryption as a Service (EaaS) is a way for companies to protect their sensitive data, both at rest and in transit. It is a subscription model that allows customers to outsource the complexity of data encryption to a team of experts. Encryption is used to protect data stored on computers and networks, and is commonly used to protect data in transit and at rest. Symmetric ciphers use a single key, while asymmetric encryption is slower but more secure. The Advanced Encryption Standard is the most widely used symmetric key cipher, while the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman encryption algorithm is the most widely used public key algorithm. Encryption can be used to verify the integrity of backups, and HTTPS enables website encryption by running HTTP over the TLS protocol. Network encryption is implemented through Internet Protocol Security, and quantum key distribution is an encrypted messaging method in which encryption keys are generated using a pair of entangled photons. Heimdals Ransomware Encryption Protection module can be used to take control of every process running on an endpoint and prevent malicious encryption attempts. EaaS makes encryption more accessible without sacrificing performance, and is a great way for companies to protect their data.
