Story: Gov't departments reveal laptop losses
Encryption
It would make sense for these reports to indicate how many laptops are being lost without encryption on them. We have seen significant progress across UK government since the publication of the Data Handling Review - it would help the citizen regain confidence in the actions undertaken if they knew that despite inevitable equipment losses - the data contained on them was now encrypted.
The same goes for removable storage devices such as USB connected devices, there has been an increased investment in Device Control solutions that now control and manage their use and force encryption where security policy dictates.
