Executive Summary

Full disk encryption (FDE) is necessary in today's IT organization, and security professionals know this. However, problems arise when IT tries to convey this necessity to the business.

This position — coupled with an economic climate where many businesses are scrutinizing every request for capital investment — does not bode well for IT organizations trying to get the green light for FDE. However, some organizations have been successful in building a case for proactive implementation. Forrester spoke with a leading hospitality and gambling organization to learn how it drove the case for FDE deployment. Its solution was to elevate FDE to a business imperative and communicate its value to decision-makers and end users alike.
