RE: FDE solution for laptops

["Jon Hanny" <jehanny () gwu edu>]

I used to be an SE for check point and agree that PointSec / check point is
the way to go...it is easy to install and can incorporate with windows
login.....it is stable and although I do not work for check point anymore, I
still "sell" their products whenever possible because I truly believe in
them.

You can try PGP Software, You can create users, so you can keep like admin

It use passphrase, so no more complex password and it support whole disk

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).
