Say no to ransoms with NAKIVO Use backups for fast data recovery after ransomware attacks.

End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) is a method of transferring data securely from your device to another person’s device while protecting information from any third parties. In general, encryption refers to the process of data being converted from a readable format into ciphertext, which is blocks of random characters that are unreadable to people and machines. Once your data has been encrypted, it can only be read after being decrypted with an encryption key.

Do you know how secure your organization’s mobile devices are? You may have a handle on your on-premises device and network security, but the rise of remote employee access and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies has created new security challenges.
