The best encryption I have seen is where you drop the usb key in and do the whole drive. Not 100% sure if it works for laptops, but we used them a few times, they would go on the ide bus and the usb key was required to access the drive at all. I wasn't the guy who set them up but IIRC if you lost the usb key you lost the drive the private key was stored on it. I would imagine there are laptop versions available. Sony has an encryption app on their new Vaio's preinstalled but I haven't used it yet and obviously no central mgmt.

We had yet another laptop stolen yesterday and it has sparked a conversation today. If not, what are you folks using to encrypt laptops that live or travel outside the office? I've got about 50 laptops so I won't do a non-enterprise level system. I'm already running Mcafee so I've got that infrastructure built already.
