Thales and Trust Catalyst conducted an in-depth survey on encryption and key management trends to better understand how global businesses and government organizations are securing data using encryption, and more importantly, how these organizations are protecting their encryption keys.

The survey indicates that the long list of data loss headlines, coupled with compliance pressures, is driving organizations to encrypt more applications than ever before with web sever and SSL encryption topping the list with 94%, closely followed by desktop file and email encryption along with full disk encryption. Yet tape backup only came in at 11th in the list below USB and mobile device encryption, potentially leaving a major hole in enterprise data protection strategies.
