Many manufacturers use programmable logic controllers, or PLCs, to control and manage production equipment. These PLCs are traditionally not connected to the corporate IT network, or even the responsibility of the IT department. While it would make sense to open up industrial networks and make available data contained within production control systems, security issues must first be addressed.

The study concludes that, as the potential for fines and customer notification increases, businesses will increasingly look to data encryption.

It recently emerged that the Hull and East Yorkshire NHS Hospitals Trust is contemplating introducing email-free days for its 7,000 staff, in a bid to encourage staff to communicate more by talking face-to-face and via the telephone.

Even in the electronic age, there are still organizations that, despite using electronic systems to manage their information, still print all documents and records, and maintain the paper version as the official record.

Regulations in some industries dictate that data must be kept for long periods - potentially over 100 years, but many organizations do not consider long-term retention when archiving. However, if they do not take action now, when information has to be retrieved it may be unreadable, as the application that created it will certainly not exist, and the file format it was created in may be obsolete.
