“Companies should act now and protect all data before they themselves are faced with the costs of a data breach. There is a very real risk that long-lasting damage could be done to a company’s reputation and brand image.”
—Alex Kwiatkowski, lead analyst at Datamonitor.
Managing the risks around electronic data has become an extremely difficult and costly proposition. Information that was once carefully guarded on mainframes and other core systems is becoming widely available on personal computers. PCs—especially laptops—are highly vulnerable to theft and misuse. Yet most organizations have not adequately protected these devices against the threat of unauthorized access and data exposure. Although the hardware costs of replacing a personal computer may be an acceptable risk to most large organizations, the risk of losing intellectual property or consumer records is far greater.
The best and only true way to protect data at rest on desktop and laptop PCs is to use full disk encryption. Full disk encryption protects all data stored on the hard drive—including the operating system itself. As a result, full disk encryption is the most comprehensive and cost-effective method for preventing data leakages and achieving regulatory compliance.
