security - encryption

The past couple of weeks at work, encryption has been brought up a multiple. It is no surprise because securing data is important. There are two types of encryptions -- encryption at rest and encryption in transit. Encryption at rest data that is stored in a location and is not actively in motion is called data at rest. En general data at rest is much more noticing to hackers because it is subject to be very sensitive information. Encryption in transit is when you encrypt the data when the data is in motion. Data is less vulnerable through transit because it is likely less sensitive information.
