Strengthening Enterprise Security Through Notebook Encryption

In assessing the risk to the business, Intel IT determined that a single major notebook related data breach could cost USD 5 million or more in direct costs alone, its solution was to encrypt all corporate notebooks, so even if a system is stolen, data cannot be accessed by malicious individuals. The total cost of implementing the encryption solution is significantly less than the potential cost of a single breach. This white paper describes, in detail, Intel's business reasons for adopting notebook encryption, as well as the plan Intel IT developed to help ensure a smooth, secure, and cost-effective implementation.
