Abstract

As the number of mobile information systems (ISs) increases, so does the amount of data-at-rest (DAR) susceptible to attacks. Literature published from 2001 to 2010 is examined to describe (a) 13 selected standards, regulations, and policies requiring DAR security solutions; and (b) currently available DAR security solutions of two types: hardware (encryption) and applications. Focus is on affordability and interoperability. Solutions are presented as a guide to help curb loss of DAR and identity theft.
