Beyond the Prompt: Data Security in Generative AI Platforms

Generative AI tools have changed how people work and play online. Everyone is excited about the speed and creativity these systems offer. Users often type sensitive info into prompts without thinking about where it goes. Security experts worry about how these platforms handle personal data. It is easy to forget that anything typed into a public bot might be stored. Staying safe means knowing how to use these tools without giving away secrets.

Quantum Computers Threaten Encryption - Here's the Fix | Sharon Goldberg

What happens to Internet security when quantum computers become powerful enough to break today’s encryption? In this clip from a full conversation on This Week in NET, Sharon Goldberg explains why researchers and companies are preparing for post-quantum cryptography, what could be at risk if current encryption is broken, and why the timeline may be closer than many expected. This clip is from the This Week in NET podcast about the future of encryption, quantum computing, and post-quantum cryptography.

BitLocker Encryption Management for Windows Devices

Every Windows laptop used in your organization carries sensitive data: customer records, internal documents, credentials, and intellectual property. If even one of those devices is lost or stolen without encryption, the consequences can be severe. According to industry insights, over 70% of data breaches originate at endpoint devices, highlighting the growing risk posed by unmanaged devices.

Homomorphic Encryption in LLM Pipelines: Why It Fails in 2026

There’s a claim gaining traction in the market: homomorphic encryption can preserve data privacy in AI workflows. Encrypt your data, run it through a language model, and never expose a single token. Sounds bulletproof. It isn’t. Homomorphic encryption (HE) was built for math, not language. Applying it to LLM pipelines is like encrypting a book and asking someone to summarize it without reading a word. The problem isn’t efficiency.

When Quantum Turns Encryption Into a Time Problem

If your encrypted traffic was captured today, would it still be private in ten years? That question changes the conversation. Leaders are used to asking, “Is it encrypted?” Now they are asking, “How long does it stay confidential?” That is where post quantum cryptography, or PQC, comes in. Its role is to strengthen the foundations of a secure connection by improving how trust is established before any data is exchanged. Today’s encryption still works.

What Is Format-Preserving Encryption (FPE)?

Your database stores a credit card number: 4532 1234 5678 9010. You encrypt it for security. Now it looks like this: %Xk92@!mQz#Lp&7. Problem. Your payment system can’t process that. It expects a 16-digit number. Your billing software breaks. Your downstream analytics fail. Your whole pipeline comes to a halt. This is the exact problem that format-preserving encryption was built to solve.

11 Best Encrypted Cloud Storage Services in 2026

Encrypted cloud storage falls into two categories. Most services — Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Box — encrypt your files on their servers and hold the decryption keys, so the company can technically access what you store. A smaller group, including Internxt, Tresorit, and Sync.com, encrypt files on your device before upload, using keys only you control. The provider receives data it cannot read, and cannot hand anything over even under legal order.

Tokenization vs. encryption: Choosing the right data protection approach

Tokenization and encryption both protect sensitive data, but they work differently and reduce different risks. Tokenization removes sensitive values from operational systems and can shrink compliance scope; encryption keeps data present but unreadable without keys. Choosing the right approach depends on data type, access patterns, and regulatory requirements like PCI DSS and HIPAA. Encryption and tokenization both protect sensitive data, support compliance, and appear in every major security framework.

The Hidden Security Risks Living Inside Your APIs

Most organisations spend serious money on firewalls, endpoint protection, and threat monitoring. Yet one of the most commonly exploited attack surfaces gets far less attention: the APIs quietly running underneath almost every modern application. APIs are the connective tissue of today's digital infrastructure. They allow apps to talk to each other, enable third-party integrations, and power the real-time data exchanges that businesses depend on daily. They are also a favourite target for attackers who know that many organisations have not secured them properly.

Why AES-256 Encryption is the Gold Standard for Business VPNs

In 2025, around 82 % of organizations reported cybersecurity breaches linked to remote work vulnerabilities, with many incidents caused by weak or unsecured access methods. Sensitive data transmitted over public networks is especially at risk, with 41 % of breaches involving compromised credentials.
