RE: Encrypting data on fileserver

Hi Nick,

In my opinion, a good solution for your needs is an encrypted file system
solution. More details about this you can find on this sites: www.pgp.com,
www.winmagic.com or www.truecrypt.com. Of course, there are only a few.

 If I understand well your problem, the idea is to create EFS container to
your file server. Then you can give rights on this containers to the users
according with your security policy.

Hope to help you.

Subject: Encrypting data on fileserver

Hello

My question is about encryption.
Aside from encrypting emails with PGP a long time ago my experience is very
limited on this field.
I have been asked to find solutions for encrypting the shares of the company
fileserver and I am not even sure this is possible.
Can I somehow encrypt the contents of a fileserver and then install a client
on the company workstations so that all this is invisible to the end users?

Thank you
