Feb 2014 – Encryption, Key Management, and Consolidation

Locked

Hi,

We have been updating our Encryption, Key Management, and Consolidation in Today’s Data Center and your latest version is from Feb 2014. Is there any intention to update this as a lot has changed since then?

Thanks

I’d like to see updates for US Agencies and how to defend DOGE attacks.

So yes, a lot has changed but can you theorize how to defend against the new DOGE data attacks?

As it stands it appears the best defenses are:
1. Move away with your data to other locations.
2. Know how to cut power to the building as soon as the attack begins.
3. Have fake databases at the ready so the DOGE databases become polluted.

Be safe, fight back.

Who is the “we” and “your” that you are referring to in this thread? I have no idea who you are referring to or why you need to know.

He is referring to a TechRepublic whitepaper from December 2013, that you can download from https://www.techrepublic.com/resource-library/whitepapers/encryption-key-management-and/post . It might be a little bit outdated indeed.

A lot has changed since 2014! If security is a concern, consider updating to modern standards like Zero Trust and hybrid cloud encryption.

Great points, @rproffitt!

DOGE attacks are definitely pushing the boundaries of what we thought possible in data exfiltration. Your defensive strategies are solid — especially the decoy database idea, which adds a clever layer of misdirection.

I’d also add:
4. Rotate encryption keys frequently with automated key lifecycle policies.
5. Monitor for unusual data access patterns in real-time — behavior analytics is key.
6. Isolate critical systems from general network access where possible.

Stay vigilant — and yes, fight back smart.
