Describe some of the challenges that organizations face when it comes to cryptographic controls.
What will be an ideal response?
Cryptographic controls are often misunderstood by those new to the area of information security. While modern cryptosystems can certainly generate unbreakable ciphertext, that is possible only when the proper key management infrastructure has been constructed and when the cryptosystems are operated and managed correctly. As in many InfoSec endeavors, the technical control is valuable, as long as it remains within programs that are founded on sound policy and managed with an awareness of the organization's fundamental objectives. Unfortunately, many vendors of cryptographic controls have sold products to organizations that have not been able to deploy them to improve their security programs. This may be due to poor project planning, errors in executing the implementation plans, or failure to put sound policies in place before acquiring the controls. Whatever the causes, many organizations have failed to make full use of their investment in cryptographic controls.
