Even information security pros don’t use encryption

If you couldn’t tell by now, I am an almost ardent proponent of encryption.   It is an effective safeguard, and is easier to use and stronger than ever.  It always amazes me when even information security vendors and pros who promote encryption do not use it themselves.  I read with interest the article about how the vendors at the recent CeBIT tradeshow, promoting the use of Wi-Fi honeypots, overwhelmingly did *NOT* use encryption…55%!  Too bad encryption is still so underutilized even by security professionals…how long will it continue to be the Rodney Dangerfield of information security technologies?
