If someone asked you “are you protecting your data,” your initial response would probably be to clarify what they are referring to specifically, since the question is so broadly stated. You could just reply with a terse “Yes,” but that is as open-ended and nebulous as the question. The general idea of data protection encompasses so many areas, from the amount of data that is being stored, to the methods of securing it all.
Modern applications are built, deployed and, run in increasingly complex and dynamic environments. Assessing and prioritizing the security issues introduced by these applications without taking this context into account inevitably leads to focusing remediation efforts on the wrong set of issues. This not only results in real risk slipping under the radar but also wastes the valuable time of developers, increasing their frustration and eroding their trust in security.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a form of public-key cryptography that is based on the mathematics of elliptic curves. It provides a secure way to perform cryptographic operations such as key exchange, digital signatures and encryption. ECC is an alternative to Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) encryption, which was first released in 1977. Continue reading to learn more about elliptic curve cryptography and why it’s considered the most secure form of encryption.
