How is Vaulten so Secure?For Vaulten security of your data is of utmost importance. Vaulten uses high-level technology to safeguard data during and after transmission: 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, which is used by banks and online trading and financial companies to transmit highly confidential information, helps ensure that data is protected during transmission over the Internet. The IBM PowerVaulten is powered by IBM and supports its software, hardware, hosting and services. With Vaulten all your data is stored at the World’s most secure data centre at IBM. All your data is not only behind a highly secure firewall but also in a secured demilitarized zone (DMZ). In addition, data is distributed over multiple geographically segregated servers to further ensure it remains secure.About encryption: Encryption is a means of scrambling information for transmission. Information is encrypted at one end and decrypted upon receipt on the other end. An encryption algorithm is a formula that turns ordinary data, or plaintext, into a secret code known as ciphertext. The algorithm then uses a string of bits known as a key to transform the data back into its original form. Using a larger key (a key with more bits) increases the number of potential patterns that can be created, thus making it more difficult to descramble the contents and increasing the security of the transmission.
