The case for encryption by proxy

Evervault presents encryption by proxy as a solution for securing sensitive data by intercepting and encrypting it before it reaches company servers, positioning it as an alternative to traditional encryption at rest and a complement to encryption in transit. This method involves using a relay server within an attested enclave to encrypt data during network requests and decrypt it only when necessary, reducing the exposure of plaintext data to potential breaches. While encryption by proxy offers enhanced security and ease of management, it raises concerns about expanding the attack surface and the risks of outsourcing security, particularly in light of incidents like LastPass. Despite these concerns, Evervault argues that their approach reduces vulnerabilities by complicating unauthorized access and offers better isolation than in-house solutions, while acknowledging the importance of robust security measures to protect against potential breaches.
