Transcript of Is Disk Encryption Right For Your Organization?

Should your organizationconsider disk encryption?

Do you have travellers with mobile devices?

If a mobile device is lost or compromised, without encryption,

your organization will have to report the loss to customers and risk

lawsuits.

Is your organization governed by regulations?

If it’s required that your organization is HIPPA or PCI compliant, an extra

layer of security for mobile devices is necessary to avoid data loss

prevention.

Do employees have access to sensitive data?

If employees are accessing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or other

partner or customer data, it’s important to ensure that it is

protected.

Is your environment heterogeneous?

If you have multiple operating systems used for mobile devices in your organization, a multi-platform

tool is ideal.

Are you planning a hardware refresh in the

near future?

Disposing of hardware presents a risk of data loss.

Encryption ensures that your data is safe – even when your organization is

finished with your hardware.
