Now that's expensive encryption

[Luther Martin <martin () voltage com>]

According to the trust catalyst (their use of capitalization - not mine) 2009 Encryption and Key Management Industry 
Benchmark Report that was just released, 10 percent of people think that the reason that more people aren't encrypting 
backup tapes is that the cost of the encryption is more than the cost of a data breach, so it's not cost-effective to 
encrypt.

Maybe the lesson is really that 10 percent of people will believe pretty much anything.

Has anyone else seen this report?
