| Ponemon Institute Final Report Released on Self-Encrypting Drives | |
Trusted Computing Group (TCG), and Ponemon Institute have released a full report of the study "Perceptions about Self-Encrypting Drives: A Study of IT Practitioners." The study interviewed 517 IT practitioners in financial services, the public sector, retailing, healthcare, technology and other fields who were familiar with self-encrypting drives (SEDs). Respondents believed that hardware-based encryption, including self-encrypting drives, is more secure than software alternatives. Fifty-three percent of respondents noted that lower costs were important features for self-encrypting drives.
The full report and executive summary can be viewed here.

In April, 2011, Trusted Computing Group hosted an InformationWeek webcast titled: "Automate to Win: The Business Case for Standards-based Security". TCG's Steve Hanna spoke about the TNC architecture, which TCG technologies provide what capabilities and the potential deployment of these open standards and architectures in various scenarios. Boeing's Craig Dupler, Technical Fellow, discussed the role of IF-MAP and TNC in securing the Boeing network and ensuring information, systems and devices vital to this large company's operations can communicate with each other and are not compromised. Paul Korzeniowski, an experienced IT watcher from InformationWeek, moderated the session and provided market data and comments |
