My post last week about Iron Mountain losing a backup tape from GE Money and losing the information on 650,000 consumers wasn’t the full story. Robert McMillan, IDG News Service, announced today that 230 different retailers had information on the tapes and it has been confirmed the tapes were not encrypted. There is just no excuse for lacking backup encryption in enterprises today.
If you don’t have backup encryption right now, stop what you are doing and get your Backup Admin in your office and get a project plan together to get encryption on your backups.
