An effective cybersecurity policy incorporates modern cryptography for secure data transmission. Encrypting data protects sensitive information during communication exchange so that only those authorized to decrypt that data can access it. Without encryption, all data transmitted over the public internet is at risk of interception and nefarious reuse. Encryption helps prevent stolen data through a variety of tools, including cryptographic ciphers like the Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
