Abstract
A lot has been said about methods of protecting data stored on local computers. A very interesting question raised by many organizations is whether data stored on central file servers requires special protection. Does this data need encryption? What are the risks? What are the mitigation techniques? This paper tries to provide a brief answer to these questions. It also gives a few examples of different encryption solutions and technologies.
