"The ability to control the effective lifespan of data – regardless of where outside of the protected datacenter copies of the data exists - can be an extremely valuable option for many companies. Sensitive data left lingering on a disk after its effective use is ripe for exposure. Companies can use cryptographic solutions to protect the data until the working copy is automatically expired. In the case of credit card data, it is important to secure the data from the moment it's swiped, through delivery to backend processing systems, and then render the remote copy unreadable."
