And Online Tech is at the forefront of data centers keeping their sights set on that moving target, well before we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinetech.com\/news\/press-releases\/2013\/no-compromise-cloud-combines-performance-with-encryption-everywhere#video\">introduced <\/a>our next-generation, <a href=\"https:\/\/otavawebsite.wpengine.com\/blog\/introducing-online-techs-encrypted-enterprise-class-clouds\/\">encrypted enterprise-class clouds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Why is encryption so important at a data center? That question was already answered quite well by our co-CEO Mike Klein, in an Industry Perspectives article on Data Center Knowledge. Let&#8217;s recycle, shall we:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>So why is encryption important? The short answer is that the regulations require it, and what regulators say goes. HIPAA has explicit rules about how encryption should be deployed in the data center and IT networks. PCI does, too, for protection of financial information. Sarbanes-Oxley is a little more coy about encryption. SOX language doesn\u2019t explicitly mention encryption, but it\u2019s impossible to achieve all of its security requirements without employing encryption technology. So all of the regulations are unanimous: Encryption isn\u2019t negotiable.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that encryption is a major focus of each of these regulations: Proper encryption can not only prevent security breaches, but also minimize the impact if a breach happens. If customer information or patient information is lost or stolen, encryption provides an additional layer of security that prevents bad guys from doing anything with that data. As a last line of defense, it can save companies millions of dollars in costs if a security breach does happen, and help them avoid costly fines, legal actions and negative publicity.<\/p>\n<p>If encryption has so many benefits from a security perspective, why isn\u2019t it ubiquitous? Because encryption in traditional corporate data centers is hard, expensive, prone to human error (with all the responsibilities related to key management, for example) and it creates performance bottlenecks that can make the phone ring off the hook for data center professionals. Those issues conspire to make encryption a major pain in the you-know-what in an enterprise data center environment, but it\u2019s even worse in the cloud. Encryption in the cloud has even more technical challenges\u2026and is even more expensive\u2026and often has an even more pronounced impact on performance. Those drawbacks have discouraged companies from being aggressive about encryption, despite what the mandates say. In fact, less than half of companies that work under mandates like SOX, HIPAA and similar regulations have successfully implemented encryption processes in their cloud deployments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can read Klein\u2019s full article, \u2018How the Cloud Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Encryption,\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.datacenterknowledge.com\/archives\/2014\/01\/14\/cloud-learned-stop-worrying-love-encryption\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>. In it, he explains that Online Tech has developed an encrypted cloud that takes care of encryption steps for clients without those performance bottlenecks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/otavawebsite.wpengine.com\/blog\/mobei\/encrypted-cloud\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14480\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-14480\" title=\"encrypted cloud\" src=\"https:\/\/otava.test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/encrypted-cloud.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"179\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/otavawebsite.wpengine.com\/solutions\/cloud\/\">encrypted clouds<\/a> don\u2019t burden clients with key management, custom programming or third-party software that can slow down the performance of core applications.

That\u2019s particularly important when hosting mission-critical applications in the cloud.<\/p>\n<p>Automatic encryption at rest comes with every cloud, from a single cloud server to large enterprise cloud infrastructures.
