Townsend Security, an authority in data privacy solutions, has created a series of short videos to educate business leaders on the important role encryption and key management play in data privacy. The Olympia, Wash.-based company is launching its data privacy education campaign with three short videos:

Learn why these losses represent serious business risk. http://hub.am/YcSaFG
What is Encryption Key Management? Security audits often find that organization are not properly managing their encryption keys-leaving them ineligible for a safe harbor in the event of a breach. Experts recommend using NIST-certified AES encryption coupled with an external encryption key management hardware security module (HSM). http://hub.am/YcSmF3
