Data At Rest (DAR) security relates to the ability to protect inadvertent access to stored information.

In practical terms protecting items such as laptops, USB memory sticks, PDA style phones and any attached storage mediums (End-Points) that could move outside the protection and control of the physical network location. Examples include a device being left in the back of taxi or stolen from the boot of car.

Conversely DAR can also to protects key information assets within the confines of the networks. Encryption and data leak solutions aim to render the information un-intelligible so should the device or asset be compromise the underlying information is protected.
