Time For Encryption - Everywhere

With the news that three hard disks have been stolen and the details of 50,000 people put at risk, perhaps it is now time to look at encryption everywhere. We know that full disk encryption is great in laptops, but what happens when desktops are stolen or when datacentres have been raided and servers stolen and even a disk array taken. What happens then? Well, it is back to the apologies and the ‘we must do something about it’ and the other excuses… if this is the case, and it is… we should act now and put encryption everywhere, prevent the disasters before they happen.
