Pressure to comply with regulatory efforts such as Sarbanes-Oxley and Gramm-Leach-Bliley is the key driver of enterprisewide encryption efforts, according to security professionals at 112 financial services companies surveyed by InfoTech, yet just over half of those surveyed said that encryption of data at rest is “a high priority for their organizations.” Less than a third said they think their firms are doing “an adequate job of encrypting data at rest.” Fifty-seven percent plan new encryption efforts in the near future. @ More results from Enterprise Encryption in the Financial Services Sector are available at SM Online [2].
