Default strong encryption for data in transit

Start free trial

Task description

Default strong encryption for data in transit

The organization should ensure that all products and services it offers or uses are configured to encrypt data in transit by default. This default encryption must utilize strong cryptographic methods, meaning those for which there are no known, successfully demonstrated breaches in the relevant scientific community.

This applies to data transmitted across a wide range of product and service elements, including, but not limited to, operating systems, communication channels, storage systems, user interfaces, integrated systems, applications, and supporting services like cloud services or outsourced business processes.

A process should be in place to regularly review the strength of the encryption methods used and update them as necessary to maintain a high level of security against evolving threats.
