Encryption Isn’t an Add-On

The Daily Incite says it best: “No one cares about encryption” – not exactly, people care (and The Daily Incite does mention this). They care a lot. Encryption is a must have. It’s just that people don’t care about the details behind the encryption.

Encryption has evolved from a product to a feature and should be included in a wide variety of products. It’s not something that should be sold separately, or something that should be purchased from a third-party, or something that is optional. It’s important and it should be expected that vendors will work out the details and by the time the product makes it to you, it must work and be seamless. Except in very few instances, people don’t want to select encryption, they don’t want to know what the encryption is, they just want it included. It’s a must have but not a decision factor.

Mobile computing exacerbates the need for encryption. How often do you hear about stolen or lost laptops? What about data leakage? Encryption is a must for mobile devices – it’s not an add-on.

NxTop is built with integrated and full disk encryption to ensure total protection of your data, which is very important for managing laptops and other PCs. Our engineers (and myself) spent a lot of time to determine the right encryption for NxTop (secure, transparent, easy to manage, doesn’t add a lot of bulk, etc.) so that when you test and deploy NxTop (and you will , you can be sure encryption is in place without any worries.
