Encryption: The Business Case For Protecting Data At Rest

Companies with the most data tend to be the companies with the most sensitive data. It's unreasonable to expect that many thousands of backup tapes can be transported, stored, and discarded without having a few end up exposed to misfeasance or malfeasance. A better solution is to encrypt the backup data. Like encrypted network data, this allows authorized users easy access while making it nearly impossible for unauthorized users to access data.
