The Last Watchdog
Everyone knows the cost and frequency of data breaches are rising. The question is, do you know if your data is truly secure? I have news for you. It’s not.

Continuous Encryption
To maintain end-to-end data security, companies need continuous encryption. The only way to achieve continuous encryption is through fully homomorphic encryption (FHE).
FHE’s Track Record
FHE was introduced in 2009 by Craig Gentry, allowing computations on encrypted data without decryption. Vendors offered solutions but faced issues like performance bottlenecks and scalability limitations.
Patchwork Solutions
Vendors introduced hardware accelerators to overcome FHE’s performance issues, but they bring their own challenges, such as high development costs, limited flexibility, integration complexity, and scalability limitations.
Assessing Advanced FHE
New FHE innovations bring the dream of continuous encryption within reach. Key factors to consider when choosing an FHE solution include operating at plaintext speeds, preserving data size and format, and FIPS 140-2 certification.
The Good News
Cutting-edge FHE solutions break through limitations, making real-time encryption a reality without costly add-ons. Businesses should choose FHE that operates at the speed of plaintext and meets the highest security standards.
