To manage encryption keys effectively, one must address their full lifecycle (generation, use, storage, update, archive, and destruction) as well as control their access to only authorized users and machines.
The best enterprise key management strategies secure cryptographic keys through the full key lifecycle (key generation, use, storage, update, archiving, and destruction) as well as control key access to authorized users and machines.
Databases contain organizations’ most critical assets. Compromised databases and data breaches are often associated with heavy fines, not to mention remediation costs, and lost consumer confidence.
Multi-cloud security protects organizational data storage and computing assets everywhere - across multiple cloud services, including on-premises infrastructures that interoperate with the “cloud-native” components that were initially developed or born in the cloud-based environment.
Data encryption is a way of translating data from a plaintext, or unencrypted version, to cyphertext, or an encrypted version.

As organizations increasingly migrate applications, workloads, and data to the cloud, establishing how to manage the cryptographic keys that protect these critical resources is an area of much debate. While some organizations are content to allow cloud service providers (CSPs) to generate and manage cryptographic keys for them, manage, others might feel it’s at odds with their security policies.
