To protect sensitive data, many storage vendors now offer encryption capabilities with their enterprise-class systems. In spite of increasing privacy legislation and an avalanche of publicly-disclosed data breaches, most large organizations believe their enterprise storage systems are relatively well-protected and thus continue to forego encryption. Some storage vendors are now proposing self-encrypting drives for another use case: data destruction. By deleting encryption keys, these vendors believe they can help enterprises automate data destruction processes. In theory, this is true—but ESG research demonstrates that, though key deletion for data destruction may have some niche market appeal, it is not a “killer app” for storage encryption across the broad enterprise market.
