I can think of a thousand scenarios and stories where encryption could have saved a lot of pain. Take Edison Chan for example... he could have averted the whole PR disaster if he had stored his private "collection" in encrypted form. My friend, Figo, also had a recent incident where she thought she lost her flash drives and was upset because it contained important files. Marks & Spencer had a laptop containing employees' pension details stolen by a sub-contractor.
I'm getting side-tracked but it surprises me that a lot of people still do not take the threat of insiders seriously. People... insiders including sub-contractors have physical access to premises and more access to your corporate assets. Wake up.
Back to the topic, encryption is your friend. As you may have guessed, I have a ready-made guide on encrypting your important and personal files.
