I am able to confirm with a good level of certainty that
there have at least been *talks* at very high level between
TriStrata and PWC. PWC certainly appears to be putting a
lot of weight behind TriStrata and indeed are recommending
it to Consulting clients.
PWC are trying to position themselves at the moment to be
the 'Big5' internet/eCommerce guru, and have been snapping
crypto types from the market. They may well be aware of the
limitations of a system like this, but this is the first
chance that there has been to sell 'full strength'
worldwide. Additionally, on the level they are working
(senior management/board) the idea of corporate message
recovery is on the wish list, not on the list of top ten
things to avoid. Whether these prospective clients are
aware who else may be able to get at their data is another
matter. This is largely academic as these large
corporations still trust the government more than the net.
I predict that PWC will have moderate to good success with
TriStrata.
The thing that worries me is, what happens if a TESS is
compromised?
