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.
