Compare Google Cloud Key Management vs. iSecurity Field Encryption

Expand your security measures on a global scale by utilizing Google's extensive infrastructure, which alleviates the complexities associated with key management, such as redundancy and latency issues. This approach assists you in meeting compliance mandates while enabling straightforward encryption of your cloud data through software-supported encryption keys, certified FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated hardware security modules (HSMs), customer-supplied keys, or an External Key Manager. Take advantage of seamless integration with Google Cloud services and employ customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) to oversee the encryption process across various Google Cloud offerings, all while enhancing your security posture with features like Google Cloud IAM and audit logs. Furthermore, the cloud-based key management service empowers you to handle both symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic keys for your cloud applications in a manner consistent with your on-premises management. You have the capability to generate, utilize, rotate, and destroy a range of cryptographic keys, including AES256, RSA 2048, RSA 3072, RSA 4096, EC P256, and EC P384, ensuring robust data protection tailored to your needs. This comprehensive solution not only enhances data security but also streamlines your operations, allowing your organization to focus on core activities without compromising on safety.

iSecurity Field Encryption safeguards sensitive information through robust encryption methods, effective key management, and thorough auditing processes. The importance of encryption cannot be overstated, as it plays a crucial role in securing confidential data and facilitating adherence to various compliance standards such as PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and an array of other governmental and state privacy regulations. Ransomware poses a significant threat by targeting any accessible file, including those on connected devices, mapped network drives, local shared networks, and cloud storage that is linked to the compromised system. This type of malware operates indiscriminately, encrypting all data files within reach, including IFS files, thereby putting critical information at risk. To combat this, Anti-Ransomware technology swiftly identifies high-volume cyber threats that originate from external sources, effectively isolates them, and protects valuable data stored on the IBM i system while maintaining optimal performance levels. Thus, the deployment of such security measures is essential in today’s digital landscape to ensure the integrity and availability of sensitive information.
