No doubt there will be a lot of 'ambulance chasing' in the next few weeks of data encryption sales; and I'm not one to look a 'gift horse in the mouth'.
As HMRC and the government reel from the Child Benefit data loss disclosure, I'm sure they will receive a great many 'have we got a solution for you!' offers; perhaps ours will be one of them! So why the reluctance to encrypt data? Had 'those two discs' that went missing in the internal post been encrypted, this whole story would have been akin to a damp sparkler on a wet bonfire night.
I'd like to suggest that it's because the business case for 'on-the-fly' whole disc encryption simply has not been made.
"It's too difficult, too expensive, users won't use it!" RUBBISH.
That's like saying it's too difficult to stay in touch with relatives overseas; the world's moved on, VoIP has sorted out the distant 'relies'. Similarly, the World's moved on in the field of encryption technology and ISVs like Mobile Armor have seriously addressed the barriers to encryption adoption.
Take a look at how it can be achieved ... tomorrow could be your day in the media spotlight!
