Better Protect Sensitive Data in the Cloud with Client-Side Application Layer Encryption

Cloud providers have made significant progress in securing their infrastructure and data centers. However, application owners are still responsible for securing their own data. In this talk, we will discuss the benefits of using client-side application layer encryption to bring your own encryption and protect sensitive data in the cloud. We will explain how to use this technique to provide encryption controls and key management, which can reduce the risk of data breaches and ensure that your data is protected when stored within a cloud-hosted environment. We will also share practical tips for implementing client-side application layer encryption, and how to address the challenges that come with this approach.
