Executive Summary

The slew of privacy regulations and publicly disclosed data breaches moves PC encryption to a must-have enterprise IT solution. Why? Because organizations are looking for ways to avoid being the next CNN headline and forking over hundreds of thousands of dollars due to fallout from these breaches. Today's regulations give safe harbor protection to organizations that have incurred a data loss if they have taken reasonable safety measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These regulations identify encryption as a technology that will help organizations meet this requirement — if used correctly. Therefore, understanding your PC encryption options is critical to your data security strategy.
