Storing business data on personal devices and laptops has increased in recent years due to the shift towards hybrid or remote working models. This substantially raises the risk of sensitive information being exfiltrated if employees suffer theft, loss, or accidentally forget their devices.

In our modern world, we constantly share private, confidential, and sensitive information over digital channels. A fundamental component of this communication is file encryption — transforming data into an unreadable format using encryption algorithms.

In our connected world, securing digital data has become an utmost priority. With the wide spread of Java applications in various sectors, from banking to healthcare, we must emphasize the importance of encryption. Encryption is converting readable data or plaintext into unreadable data or ciphertext, ensuring that even if encrypted data is intercepted, it remains inaccessible to unauthorized individuals.

In the modern software ecosystem, containerization has become a popular method for packaging and deploying applications. Alongside this growing trend, ensuring the security of software supply chains has become a critical concern for businesses of all sizes. Implementing best practices, such as signing and verifying images to mitigate man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks and validating their authenticity and freshness, play a pivotal role in safeguarding the integrity of the software supply chain.
