Entrust Releases "Lost Laptops Sink Ships ... Make Sure Yours Are Protected" Podcast

Entrust Vice President Product Management Eric Skinner discusses full disk encryption solution

11 Sep 2006

DALLAS - High profile security breaches have raised questions on how organizations can protect sensitive and confidential data. These security invasions can result in damages, including lost revenues, regulatory penalties and loss of brand reputation. Organizations today are under enormous pressure to encrypt sensitive data and protect sensitive data from falling into the corrupt hands.  To help shed light on how full disk encryption helps organizations protect sensitive data, Entrust, Inc. [NASDAQ: ENTU] has released the "Lost Laptops Sink Ships ... Make Sure Yours Are Protected" podcast with its Vice President of Product Management Eric Skinner.

"What's making data breach and laptop theft more visible is that the majority of states in the U.S. now have data breach notification laws which means companies are legally obliged to disclose to their customers that they have lost track of customer data," said Eric Skinner, Entrust vice president of product management. "However, if companies have implemented a full disk encryption solution, they typically do not have to report the data breach because the sensitive information is completely secure and exempt from disclosure requirements."

In the Entrust podcast, listeners will learn about the full disk encryption and how it can transparently protect customer information and sensitive data on laptops as well as on removable media devices. The podcast may be downloaded at http://feeds.feedburner.com/entrust.

"Full disk encryption protects all data on the disk, including the operating system, all drives and resident data, temporary files, deleted and unused space. Our solution transparently encrypts everything on a laptop drive and it does not change the day to day experience," adds Skinner.  "As companies look to squeeze every ounce of productivity from their workforce, this enables them to have remote workers and employees working on sensitive files from the road without the risk of jeopardizing information, personal identities or corporate secrets."

Skinner has a wealth of technical and business knowledge that helps him to foster close working relationships with customers and partners to ensure the delivery of market-driven products and solutions. He has 20 years of diverse technology management and development expertise and has occupied key leadership positions as business unit leader, product manager and creative team lead. His combination of business, technical and leadership skills enables him to bring Entrust data solutions to key markets.
