We conducted a similiar survey a year ago nearly to this one.  And we were
surprised at how few folks and companies do in fact encrypt their wan
traffic, even though most were well aware of the possible dnagers of not
encryting such traffic...

Thanks,

I would like to do a survey here on how many companies enforce
encryption on WAN links in their security policy ? 

I will be trying to convince my management on this aspect but I think it
will be overwritten on the reasoning of performance impact. Any comments
on this would be deeply appreciated. 

TIA
