For a free product, Truecrypt.  This is not centrally administered, but
it does a great job if you don't have a bunch to control.

For a thumbdrive, you will want to use the "portable" version which is
something that you can do from the installed product or you can specify
when you install...

Someone else posted something in this thread at the bottom about locking
down thumbdrives/auditing/etc...

See below, please.

Guardian Edge has a pretty nice product for this.
