Would encryption have prevented known major breaches?

In looking at the news, I'm wondering if encryption would have prevented any of the known data breaches. I'm thinking of Equifax, Anthem, Target and Yahoo for starters. If one steals a database, they need to be able to steal the means to read it which would mean they have a computer compatible

The general procedure is to remove the target CEC from the STP hierarchy. That is, remove any role that has been defined to it. If it's backup or lower, simply undefined and remove it. If it's primary, first switch another CEC to primary, then remove the target CEC. After POR, juggle the roles

We have 2 Servers in a STP configuration defined with the same CST(network ID) . One is defined as a PTS and the other as a BTS. Till now when we did an IML on one Server, we brought both down and followed the Server Protocol Planning Guide instructions (when setting the STP time for example).
