For the medical traffic that we are throwing over frame, hospitals are choosing to IPSec encrypt more and more. Is it necessary? I think it will be due to HIPPA, but that may or may not play out long run. Will it protect your data? Only from people that have the ability to intercept C-band satalite or tap fiber and don't want to walk into the doctors office and just photocopy your records... :) Remember, End to End security doesn't stop at the routers. If your physical security measures are lax, and your security processes are non-existant, you are wasting your time in securing the transport between locations. Pick off the low hanging fruit first.
