Currently, IT checklists are security theater. Reducing liability vs improving security.

How many orgs are transitioning to zero knowledge networks, encrypting all data at rest?

> encrypting all data at rest

That’s a common checklist item. Implementing it is of course more work than just checking the box, but ensuring it’s actually done means it’s added to a lot of different checklists.

At the field and record level? Sufficient to guarantee privacy?

Never store PII as cleartext, akin to proper password storage.

Encrypting databases, file systems, and backups remain necessary, but insufficient.

Encrypting data at rest at least is getting better if only because more systems do it by default as time goes on.
