FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- With continued breaches resulting in record-setting theft of data, Osterman Research – an analyst firm providing market research, cost data and benchmarking information to technology-based companies – has released a whitepaper titled "Content Encryption: Key Issues to Consider."
Sponsored by DataMotion, an experienced email encryption and health information service provider (HISP), Osterman Research conducted an in-depth, primary market research study throughout August 2015, surveying 150 IT professionals knowledgeable about use of encryption in their organizations. The whitepaper details the survey results, addresses critical issues surrounding content encryption, and offers best practice recommendations and business process improvements for decision-makers to consider.
Highlights of the survey and issues addressed include the following:
- Statistics on manual and policy based content encryption use for email and file transfer
- Legal and regulatory impact of failing to encrypt content
- Complications related to mobile devices and cloud-based application use
- Barriers to adoption for content encryption
- Best practice recommendations including risk and business case analysis
"Now more than ever, it is vital decision-makers fully understand that encryption is a critical defensive strategy to protect against breaches and comply with regulations," said the President of Osterman Research, Michael Osterman. "Ensuring employees have easy to use content encryption solutions available from within their workflows should be a standard policy, especially for those working with sensitive and regulated data."
"This is an encompassing whitepaper, one that should be read by anyone involved in IT security, compliance and risk," said the Chief Technology Officer of DataMotion, Bob Janacek. "Not only do the survey results provide the freshest data and review of current risks being taken in data protection, it provides invaluable best practice recommendations that can be immediately implemented."
