“Mission-critical data that goes missing could result in legal liabilities and regulatory compliance violations -- an intolerable situation. One would expect that security-conscious organizations would include tape encryption as a standard security defense. Unfortunately, this hypothesis simply isn't true. In a survey of 388 storage professionals, ESG found that only 7 percent of users reported that they always encrypt their backup data while 60 percent said that they never do. There will likely be many more instances of lost tapes, which may lead to embarrassing public disclosures and expensive notification efforts.”

“There are unique regulatory issues that need to be addressed, ... We can only decide these issues in an open process. That will let us decide whether FDA can approve a drug for both over-the-counter and prescription use, for the same indication, sold in the same package.”
Lester Crawford
“Even though the regulatory process is slow and frustrating, I saw that as an advantage of being a barrier to competition.”
