Encryption as a service (EaaS) is a cloud-based solution that provides encryption capabilities to businesses and individuals, enabling them to secure their data without managing the complexities of encryption themselves. Organizations must ensure that sensitive data is protected, whether it is at rest, in transit, or in use, as cybersecurity threats continue to rise. EaaS offers a streamlined and scalable approach to encryption, allowing companies to integrate robust security measures without significant investment in infrastructure, expertise, or ongoing maintenance.
The growing smartphone adoption coupled with rising adoption of mobile health applications boost demand for encryption as a service. Smartphones lead to an increase in sensitive activities such as banking, online shopping, and communication, creating vulnerability to cyber threats. This drives smartphone owners to adopt encryption as a service to protect their sensitive data.
EaaS providers offer encryption solutions that are easy to deploy and manage, making security accessible to organizations of all sizes. These services typically involve encrypting files, databases, emails, and network traffic to protect data from unauthorized access. Businesses often store vast amounts of sensitive data in cloud environments, making encryption a critical requirement. EaaS solutions ensure that data remains encrypted throughout its lifecycle, mitigating risks associated with data breaches, insider threats, and compliance violations.
