Organizations have seen an increase in device encryption

https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2021/05/31/device-encryption-increase/

Excerpts:

32% of organizations have seen an increase in device encryption in the past year, according to a Vanson Bourne survey.

Additionally, 31 percent noted that their organization now requires all data to be encrypted as standard, whether it’s at rest or in transit, and 24 percent require the encryption of all data when it’s being stored on their systems or in the cloud.

Further to this, 27 percent of surveyed IT decision makers stated their organization has increased the implementation of encryption in other ways – up from zero in the 2020 survey. This rise is likely due to organizations having had to operate in new working environments with increased remote working and the need to implement new systems and controls as a consequence.

“Encryption is increasingly recognised as a key component for data security and cyber resilience, especially at the highest levels. Examples include the use of encryption being one of very few technologies recommended within GDPR and Joe Biden’s recent Executive Order, stipulating the need to adopt encryption for data at rest and in transit. If ever there were a time to increase and execute the use of encryption, this is it!”

Lack of encryption and misplaced devices causing data breaches

Regardless of the increase in the use of encryption, when asked to select up to three main causes of a data breach within their organization, 30 percent of those surveyed report lack of encryption (12%) and lost/misplaced devices containing sensitive corporate information (18%) as main causes. This could be due to the absence of control over corporate data.

When reporting up to three of the biggest challenges associated with implementing a cyber security plan for remote/mobile working, 39 percent of those surveyed admitted they cannot be certain that their data is adequately secured, 18 percent said they don’t have a good understanding of which of their data sets need to be encrypted and 15 percent have no control over where company data goes and where it is stored.

The increase in encryption usage looks set to continue

When questioned on which devices their organization currently encrypts, and which they plan to expand encryption, surveyed IT decision makers noted that their organization already encrypts some devices, and plan to expand their encryption usage on USB sticks (19%), laptops (16%), desktops (12%), mobiles (22%) and portable hard drives (18%).

The fast, risk-free way to deploy SEDs (Self Encrypting Drives).

Excerpts:


No infrastructure, no software …
no more excuses

You know you should be encrypting data on every device in your organization, especially your laptops. Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) are the fastest, easiest and most secure way to do that. But setting up to support and manage SEDs can seem daunting. Even to test them, you need server infrastructure and management software. Right?

Not with Wave Cloud. The world’s first cloud-based service for managing SEDs, Microsoft Bitlocker and OS X FileVault 2, Wave Cloud lets users take advantage of the benefits of SEDs without jumping through the hoops traditionally associated with SED management. Whether you’re doing a small proof-of-concept or full-blown production deployment, Wave Cloud is the fastest way to get there.

Contact Wave Sales and you’re on your way - no servers or software or big capital expenditures.
