Encryption is something that I have been thinking about for a while now and a lot of the solutions that I have seen are extremely user unfriendly, very costly,  and sometimes has little management features OR if you look at free solutions there is usually no management of keys which could be tricky when keys are lost or passwords are forgotten.

 

Protecting data through encryption is a great way to go, we all can agree there but as that data moves from servers to laptops and/ or to other mobile devices, it can become exposed. 

 

Is anyone encrypting their file servers? If so what are you using?

What about email? Not only on the servers but what about on the desktops?

Is anyone encrypting their laptops’ hard drives?
