Ahh its like a parallel world, I just had this conversation :) We needed a full disk encryption product that would support XP, integrate with AD, not require a format, allow for archiving all keys on the network, and be easy enough a child (I mean exec) could use it. We looked at both Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk and Guardian Edge Full Disk which would both meet those specifications.
While neither produced joy in the bottom of my spine, both appear adequate and not horrible with regards to management and performance. The tipping point for us is that we are only encrypting about 20-25 laptops and Guardian Edge wouldn't sell us fewer than 100 licenses, so we are moving ahead with the SEE. Personally I am running bitlocker and would prefer that alternative; but even though we own SA, we wont upgrade to Vista outside IS.... yet. Hope that helps -Troy From: David Lum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 7:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Encryption requirements I have a meeting today to go over determining requirements for encryption of laptop and removable media. I'm guessing someone here has already gone though this and would love to have some points to consider.
