Infosecurity – Although there are still major challenges in executing data encryption policies, the use of encryption continues to grow in response to consumer concerns, privacy compliance regulations and ongoing data breaches in the headlines.
The 2013 Global Encryption Trends Study, written by the Ponemon Institute and sponsored by Thales, reveals that there has been a steady increase in the deployment of encryption solutions used by organizations over the past nine years, with 35% of organizations now having an encryption strategy applied consistently across the entire enterprise compared with 29% last year. The survey also indicated that only 14% of organizations surveyed do not have any encryption strategy at all, compared with 22% last year.
