Speaking of mitigation of risk: It is important to note that regardless of the technology, people are usually the weakest link when employing some use of encryption. If the tools are too cumbersome to use, they will not encrypt the data properly. If personnel are not properly trained, then you will not realize the ROI for your encrytion products, that we so desperately try to prove everyday. How we interact with sensitive data should be molded and shaped through a combination of policy, enforcement, training and the use of the latest tools and techniques. Risk mitigation does not stop with the decision to use full disc or file level encryption. And I agree, totally, that encryption is not a "silver bullet" to this problem, but only a component of the overall solution. -Paul Moore Security & Business Continuity FedEx Corporation --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: SensePost Hacking, like any art, will take years of dedicated study and practice to master.
