Database data files containing sensitive information must be encrypted.
Description
Discussion Text
Cryptography is only as strong as the encryption modules/algorithms employed to encrypt the data.
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data.
Data files that are not encrypted are vulnerable to theft. When data files are not encrypted they can be copied and opened on a separate system. The data can be compromised without the information owner's knowledge that the theft has even taken place.
