The Long Line Begins Here...

While this vulnerability seems to be the source of much discussion and concern, it is really just another in a long line of regularly occurring security threats. The true nature of network security, regardless of the platform or operating system used, is that there will always be vulnerabilities, particularly as technology keeps changing faster than most can adapt.

While it is vitally important that businesses strive to maintain numerous layers of up-to-date network security, there has never been a greater need to concurrently protect your confidential data at the source using strong encryption. Although the goal is to avoid data loss in the first place, it is now crucial to employ encryption in order to know that should the data lost or stolen, it is still secure and unusable.

Historically, data encryption has been considered an optional last line of defense. Given the uncertainty of network security strategies and the sophistication of cyber-criminals, Dark Matter Labs believes we've reached the day where strong data encryption is actually the first true line of defense.
