Why is encryption important?

Why is encryption important?
Data protection has become a hot topic, but where is the real threat and what can you do to protect your business? How do you protect data 'at rest' and data 'in transit'? How can you protect against the threat of espionage, hacktivism, spyware, or insider negligence or wrongdoing? If encryption is so important, why isn't everyone using it? Is there a simpler, more efficient way to encrypt your data?
This Symantec.cloud white paper aims to answer these questions, looking into:
- Boundary encryption;
- Policy-based encryption;
- Content control;
- Spyware prevention.
