Summary

Encryption has become the duct tape of cybersecurity. Just like you use duct tape for anything around your home, encryption is for everything relating to technology and data security right now. Like duct tape, encryption works for some scenarios and uses, but it’s not a long-term solution, especially for organizations that want to extract more value from their collected data. The biggest problems with encryption are that it still leaves you open to thieves stealing data, and it creates too many obstacles for comprehensive data analysis.
