Summary: The 2010 Annual Study: U.S. Enterprise Encryption Trends reveals that for the first time regulatory compliance has surpassed data breach mitigation as the top reason why organizations deploy encryption technologies. The report from Symantec and the Ponemon Institute also found that solutions involving encryption have seen the biggest increase in IT budget earmarks over the past year. The fifth annual study on enterprise encryption usage is based on responses from nearly 1,000 U.S.-based senior IT and business managers from 15 different industries.
