Data Encryption; Need of the Time

Equipment loss equals security lost
Laptops, smart phones and PDAs get left in cabs. Computers disappear. But the real loss isn’t the money spent to replace a device, or the time spent getting the user back up and running. When unprotected data ends up with criminals or your competitors, that’s a loss you can’t afford.

You could be held liable for identity theft
We’ve seen it all too often – bank account numbers, Social Security numbers and medical records stolen from devices 1) that aren’t encrypted or 2) have encryption that a user has bypassed or disabled. And the cost of complying with privacy notification laws – not to mention lawsuits – is growing every day.

Your trade secrets are vulnerable
How many trade secrets are at rest right now on your laptops or computers? How much intellectual property? And how much damage could be done if a competitor got hold of confidential information about your products, production methods or pricing?

Classified information can’t be left unprotected
Now, more than ever, government secrets need to be kept secret. Leaving that data unprotected could compromise anything from personal privacy to national security.
