Organisations like Sony, Lockheed Martin, Nintendo, and Groupon share something unpleasant in common: recent security breaches. They are not alone. The list of companies suffering the public humiliation and expense that go hand-in-hand with lax IT security procedures goes on and on. I read in a read last week that the global market for stolen identities is now worth a staggering $5 billion a year. Most of these companies had implemented encryption to protect their data, and yet their efforts were wasted because they had not followed best practices for managing their encryption assets and deployments.
