Throughout the migration, effective key management is critical for mitigating the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

This publication shares best practices for managing encryption keys during data migration from on-premises environments to the cloud. It covers considerations for the various stages of the migration process: assessment, planning, preparation, migration, and post-migration. Readers will get a better understanding of how to successfully plan and execute their cloud migration strategy. This ensures the security of their data and a positive cloud adoption experience.

Key Takeaways:
  • How to assess your current data landscape and key management practices, identifying gaps and potential risks

  • How to securely transfer data and encryption keys
  • Testing and validation strategies to guarantee a seamless transition
  • Best practices for maintaining data and key integrity and functionality throughout migration
