This week Forrester Research released a new report written by analyst John Kindervag called "Killing Data," which claims that security professionals don't do enough to make data stores undesirable to thieves looking to fence that information on the black market. "Control placement is often flawed and security pros frequently leave toxic data, data associated with legal or compliance mandates, and certain types of intellectual property unprotected and vulnerable. Traditionally, security pros have not stored email addresses in an encrypted format — because they don’t view them as toxic or sensitive data," the report read. "In order to properly protect data, security professionals must put a value on it based on how much the data is worth on the open market." Dark Reading spoke to Kindervag to expand on the ideas that drove him to write the report and to discuss the importance of encryption in today's threat environment.Sucuri - Protect Your Interwebs
