Report from trust catalyst detailing the trends and obstacles to data encryptions, applications affected, and why it's important (average cost per breach in $6M)
Excerpt: he most significant increases in this year's research were "File encryption - server" moving up from fifth to second place and "Mobile device encryption" rising from eleventh to ninth. Email encryption at the client saw the most significant fall, from third place in 2008 to fifth in 2009. There was not a significant increase in encryption adoption for databases or backup tapes in 2009. We continue to caution organizations not encrypting these applications that they remain at serious risk of data breach -particularly with regard to patient and credit card data.
