The Bottom Line

Your company needs to be able to stand up after a security breach and say, with confidence, “While the system was hacked, we employed a sophisticated data encryption package and the thieves will be unable to read any data they were able to steal.”

And that is where Gazzang’s ezEncrypt can help.
