- Encryption: When data is encrypted, it is only useful to people who hold the decryption key. Encryption can be deployed “end-to-end”, between datacenters, virtual machines, devices.
- Authentication: ensures only authorized personnel have access to specific bits of information. This granular form of access control exposes data only to the right people and eliminates exposing critical data to those that should not have it, thereby increasing security
