What is encryption and how does it protect my data?

< 1 min read

Encryption is a method of hiding data behind a mathematical algorithm that makes it unreadable without the proper key. It helps protect data by preventing unauthorized access to the data, even if someone were to gain access – they would be unable to read it without permission.


  1. Know which type of encryption is best for the data you want to protect

  2. Set up strong passwords and change them regularly

  3. Make sure your virus protection is up-to-date

  4. Make sure that all of your devices and software are up-to-date

  5. Set up a firewall and regularly review your security settings

  6. Run a vulnerability scan of your system regularly
