Based on your research for Unit 6, write a point paper:

• Explain the benefits of encryption.

• Explain the different ways encryption will play a role on the PCS corporate network and satellite offices.

• Give some examples of security problems that will be addressed by your encryption solutions.

• The CEO asked why we haven’t been using encryption all along if it is so easy. Other than hardware and software costs, provide a response to this question.
