[Informatics] Data security: How to make system penetrations irrelevant...

... with encryption.

*DATA BREACHES AND exposures all invite the same lament: if only the
compromised data had been encrypted. Bad guys can only do so much with
exfiltrated data, after all, if they can't read any of it. Now, IBM says it
has a way to encrypt every level of a network, from applications to local
databases and cloud services, thanks to a new mainframe that can power 12
billion encrypted transactions per day.*
*The processing burden that comes with all that constant encrypting and
decrypting has prevented that sort of comprehensive data encryption at
scale in the past. Thanks to advances in both hardware and software
encryption processing, though, IBM says that its IBM Z mainframe can pull
off the previously impossible. If that holds up in practice, it will offer
a system that's both accessible for users, and offers far greater data
security than currently possible.*
