Emergency services sector
The emergency services sector (ESS) is the United States' first line of defense for preventing and mitigating the risk of natural disasters, man-made disasters and physical and cyber attacks. The sector is also the primary protector for other crucial infrastructure sectors, and a data breach within this division would notably impact the nation’s security, public safety and morale. It is imperative to ensure that the ESS is equipped with top-notch encryption software to validate that this type of potentially crippling data breach does not occur.
According to Big Data security experts Gazzang, 2014 will be the year of data security. Between the Edward Snowden NSA leak and the hundreds of other data breaches that occurred in 2013, companies and consumers alike are beginning to take responsibility for their data and implementing encryption policies and solutions to prevent these kinds of breaches from occurring.
Though this is a step in the right direction, some of the most destructive and dangerous industries for a data breach to occur in are the ones who are expected to face the most challenges with data encryption in 2014. Disk encryption provider WinMagic reveals the top five industries that will experience the most data encryption challenges in 2014 and why the most dangerous industries remain the most vulnerable.
