Data at Rest Encryption - Addressing Modern Attacks Beyond the Basics

OWASP Foundation via YouTube

Overview

Explore advanced data encryption techniques for protecting data at rest in this 47-minute OWASP Foundation conference talk. Delve into the limitations of current encryption methods for data at rest and discover alternative approaches that offer enhanced protection against modern security threats. Learn about Application-Level Encryption (ALE), Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), Field-Level Encryption (FLE), client-side encryption, and custom implementations. Gain insights into addressing ransomware, data theft, insider threats, and application layer attacks such as SQL injection. Understand the fundamentals of cryptography, encryption, and key management, and explore real-world examples of security incidents and improved encryption strategies for medical records systems.
