Security → Encryption: More and more companies use it, despite nasty tech headaches ¿

TRUE ..." Use of encryption to protect business data continues to increase, but managing the technology involved continues to be a headache.

Just over a third (36 percent) of organisations said they now have an enterprise-wide encryption strategy in place, a number that has been steadily rising from the 15 percent reported a decade ago, according to a survey.

UK PM looking to outlaw encrypted online communication

The figure hides some significant international variations: 59 percent of German companies claimed to have an encryption policy which is applied consistently across the organization, compared to 43 percent in the US, 35 percent in the UK, and a mere 25 percent in Mexico.

By industry, financial services, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals are among the biggest users of encryption."...[ »www.zdnet.com/article/en ··· adaches/ ]

I think the NSA files getting leaked was the biggest spike causer to encryption. The proof is in the fact agencies like the NSA and their friends in other countries all crying about encryption. If its making spook agencies cry than its a good thing.

As long as open source solutions exist for when the spy agencies lobby their respective governments to make back doors the law there will be open source to allow people to remain secure.

Do NOT know why FB moved to Ireland for security reason or TAX reason ??? Still remember dispute with NSA, some times ago .......[ »www.tippfm.com/news/deta ··· _ireland ]

Maybe, just maybe (with conspiracy hat on) Snowden is just an agent for the NSA and/or CIA to "spill the beans" (of nothing that many in this forum did not already knew previously) in order to push the mass population and private industry to encrypt their data against online espionage from China, Iran and/or whom ever wishes to dip their hands in the "huge cookie jar of intellectual and financial data property" for free. Think of it, has Snowden provided specific names of anyone in the "high command" that can be accused (with undeniable and overwhelming evidence) of such breach of our laws? Just think.

id go with taxes, Lots of companies move their official identity to Ireland to skip out on taxes.

The only way to fight that though would be to threaten companies who do this tax inversion thing to get out of US taxes with the revocation of their patents and copyrights.

Lets not forget the simple notion that advances in computing power have also impacted encryption adoption over the years.

There is that too. Modern devices have the processing power to encrypt without huge negative impacts to performance.

What many forget when they claim modern computing makes encryption obsolete due to brute force is the same tech can also handle higher bit encryption. And as far as processing requirements encoding will always be ahead of brute force in terms of time efficiency.

That was me (my bad). I was trying to log into the forum and for some reason or the other could not at the first attempt so posted the message anonymously. Did not see my post for a few minutes then tried to authenticate again which worked and re-posted.

Holy smokes thats a lot of open tabs.

I wonder how many tabs there were. I had gone up to 160!
