Security in IT is the protection of computer systems from the theft and damage to their hardware, software or information, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
Introduction
If the administrators responsible for securing applications had their way, passwords would be long complex strings of random symbols, and users would memorize different passwords for every application they use. But in the real world, few people are capable of such prodigious feats of memory. The typical user can only remember a handful of relatively short passwords.
That’s why an increasing number of applications are requiring two-factor authentication.
Using Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions with InterSystems Caché Substantially Improves Encryption Performance and Reduces Computational Overhead
Executive Summary
Financial services companies have an ever-growing need to encrypt databases containing sensitive customer and trade data. However, using encryption on these databases can require significant computational resources, potentially impacting trading latencies.
