For organizations that use personal electronic records to handle non-public customer information, the need to protect that data has never been greater. Identity theft has reached epidemic proportions; in fact, Congress estimates that nearly 10 million Americans were victims of identity theft in 2004 alone.
The U.S. government perceives identity theft as a “serious threat to the nation’s economic stability, homeland security, the development of e-commerce, and the privacy rights of Americans.” As a result, lawmakers at the Federal and state level have reacted with legislation that holds corporate and governmental organizations responsible for the integrity and confidentiality of the consumer information they handle.
Encryption is one of the most effective methods available for ensuring the security and privacy of personal electronic records. Many data protection laws specifically list encryption as a “safe harbor” exception to notification rules, and some laws explicitly require the use of encryption. While many organizations use encryption to secure data in transit, too few have implemented encryption where it resides most of the time, at rest on hard drives and other storage media.
