sent outside of the organization. A similar, but more restrictive, law
will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2009 in Massachusetts. What this means
is that if you operate a business in either state, you will have to
encrypt certain types of sensitive information if you send it past your
corporate firewall or else face legal consequences.
