Encrypted disk images must be implemented and maintained by the user. Many
large corporations would prefer to implement an automated solution that can
be managed centrally and enforced.
Also, there can still be information outside of the disk image that is
proprietary and/or confidential. (Custom applications, machine settings that
could provide information about the configuration of an internal network or
details about workstation management methodologies, etc.)
