Mcafee Total Data Protection
Anyone out there running Mcafee Total Data Protection yet? 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. Mark - Two rules to success in life: 1. Never tell people everything you know.

RE: Mcafee Total Data Protection
You don't mention who your hardware vendor is, but Dell is coming out with a hardware based solution in this area. I can't go into much detail (pesky NDAs) but it will be a much faster solution than software based encryption.

RE: Mcafee Total Data Protection
Primarily Dell with Toshiba tablets. I've not been overly impressed with the Embassy Trust Suite if that's what you're referring to. The usb device control and data leakage control are part of the total package and I would use them heavily also. The do offer encryptible harddrives now. They're only 5400rpm though, I only buy 7200rpm for the performance. Mark - Two rules to success in life: 1. Never tell people everything you know.

RE: Mcafee Total Data Protection
ETS is a part of it, but not the whole part going forward. The capabilities and offerings change when the E-series rolls in a few months.

RE: Mcafee Total Data Protection
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're going to Bitlocker. You can use USB key if you want, or otherwise TPM or user supplied password (or a combination). Keys are escrowed in AD.
