Whitewash, I'm saying TJMAXX is certainly investigating ways to protect their sensitive data. I don't know if they are looking at wave's stuff, but after losing tens of millions as reported in the press as a direct result of their failure to maintain sensitive data, they had better be doing something.

Even in a climate of tightening budgets I just don't see how trusted computing can reasonably be overlooked. A firm may opt for alternatives to wave's solution but they would be derelict if they did not invest in data protection of some sort. Wave's solution is cheap insurance. It's like my friend who is building his dream home. Yeah, houses aren't going up as fast nowadays but who builds a new home without installing a home alarm system?

I would not want to be the IT guy who bought the last non-trusted computing network. In that regard, PC security is immune to market downturns. Yes, the rate at which an entire network is replaced may slow, but security is not an option.

Ciao!
