RE: Anyone using PGP encryption?
I looked at software encryption a while back, and opted instead for on the fly hardware encryption built into the hard drives. That provides a much better performance boost, and the it costs me about $60 per hard drive. I currently use the Hitachi 7200 RPM drives with 'BDE' as they call it. I found it far easier to manage as well. Fortunately, I enacted this as we were rolling out new laptops anyway.

RE: Anyone using PGP encryption?
Truecrypt works very well in my experience, but I assume you're looking for something you can deploy and manage administratively. If that's the case it's probably not appropriate. I also haven't done any performance testing to see just what kind of performance hit it causes.

RE: Anyone using PGP encryption?
We used it at a previous client. It worked well. We did local as well as remote home office users. Combined it with an image refresh, but that's not necessary. It will install/work just fine installed over top of an existing image. The actual disk encryption time can take a while, but since we had the laptops rather than the users, it wasn't an issue for us... We used the linux-based management console. Ran it in a VM with no issues. Feel free to ask any specific questions you have about it. *** Charlie Kaiser charl...@golden-eagle.org Kingman, AZ *** -Original Message- From: David Lum [mailto:david@nwea.org] Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 10:17 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Anyone using PGP encryption?

Re: Anyone using PGP encryption?
We're using it. No issues, except when users forget to change their passwords... We have the Universal server, too so it can be managed centrally (linux server in a VM). IIRC upfront costs were about $160/user. I have the ability to do an emergency decryption with a a decryption token, and administratively unlock the volume with an eToken USB stick. If you're enforcing password complexity in your environment you can configured whole disk encryption for SSO. Users love that feature when in the office, because they can start their computer up, put in their password immediately and then go fetch their coffee.
