I had a user come in for a vuln scan with a lappy that had pointsec on it and had all kinds of errors loading up and slowness. I guess it was trying to contact the central server, but it wasnt on the network so... Seems easier just a disk encryption method that doesnt mess with the OS. I believe there are others that create a small partition for it to live on. Saludos. Albert On Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 10:12 AM, Macy <mwtorrey () hotmail com> wrote:
Sapran, We use and resell pointsec (now a check point company). The reason I suggest this is because it provides centralized management and remote support (supports single sign-on using windows passwd, includes remote support utilities in case users get locked out). macy -------------------------------------------------- From: "ыфзкфт" <sapran () gmail com> Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 9:47 AM To: <security-basics () securityfocus com> Subject: FDE solution for laptops > Hi list! > > I am in search of a solution for full disk encryption.
