Overview
Data encryption has become a "must-have" technology for businesses, government agencies, healthcare organizations, and other enterprises. Magazines and web sites are filled with news stories about stolen laptops containing thousands, or even millions, of confidential records. Every organization must assume that a certain number of laptops will be lost each year. And data encryption is the best available technology to prevent the loss of confidential data when laptops and mobile devices are lost or stolen.

But to paraphrase the old song: "Data Encryption is hard to do."

First, it can be difficult to deploy successfully.

Second, even when it is appears to have been deployed successfully, many organizations lack the management tools to ensure that the encryption solution is in fact functioning properly.

The lack of management tools is important not only from the point of view of maintaining good security, but also because organizations could potentially fail audits if they cannot prove that their data encryption solution is performing as planned.
