Format-Preserving Encryption
Part III: Real World Impact

Chris Struttmann
CTO, ALTR
In our final session, we step back and evaluate the bigger picture. What happens when FPE becomes part of your ecosystem? We’ll explore the technical impact—how it interacts with tools like ETL pipelines, analytics platforms, and cloud data warehouses—and why factors like microsecond performance, scalability, and cost control matter. Then we’ll shift to business impact: how FPE supports compliance (e.g., PCI, HIPAA), empowers secure data access, and enables analytics without exposing raw values. If you’re considering FPE for wide-scale implementation, this session is critical to understanding both the functional and strategic outcomes.

Part I: Why FPE, Why Now
Understand what FPE is, where it fits, and why it’s becoming essential for modern data security.

Part II: FPE in Action
See how to encrypt, operate on, and manage data securely with FPE in real-world environments.
