The Thales eBook dispels myths around cloud encryption and underscores the importance of external key management (EKM). It argues that CSP-provided encryption alone exposes organizations to risks like insider threats, compliance gaps, and vendor lock-in. EKM ensures separation of duties, enhances sovereignty, and supports multi-cloud operations. It doesn’t slow performance but improves reliability through centralized, automated key management. The paper stresses that all data can become sensitive, and EKM isn’t just for regulated sectors—it’s a best practice for any business. Thales solutions, built on FIPS 140-2 certified systems, provide scalable, cost-effective key control across hybrid environments.
