How does PKI prevent data breaches and man-in-the-middle attacks?

PKI mitigates cyber risks by ensuring encrypted communication and verified identities.

It prevents threats through:

  • SSL/TLS encryption to secure data in transit
  • Digital certificates to verify server authenticity
  • Cryptographic validation of communication endpoints
  • Detection of tampered or fraudulent certificates

By authenticating both parties before data exchange, PKI significantly reduces the risk of interception, impersonation and unauthorized access.
