As many people are aware that data loss within government agencies, banks and private companies is a big concern. So why are there so few companies, banks and agencies that are encrypting their data considering the current climate and the number of data losses in the news on a week to week basis.

As many companies have already found out at their cost, losing data on unencrypted tapes is a seriously expensive occurrence.
