We are at the same point, with the same product. It offers a server-based system for key escrow, with delegatable (is that a word?) access and a challenge-response mechanism so the Help Desk folks never have to actually see (know) a user's password in order to help them recover a forgotten one.

Hi Kim, At GW we are using Safeguard Easy (Utimaco product) for full-disk encryption. We just finished a successful pilot and have been approved to move forward with our phased enterprise roll-out. Our first phase is full-disk encryption of laptops for high risk users (target by end of Feb; approx. 700 laptops). We will also be encrypting desktops in Phases 2 and 3. Fortunately we have a mandate from our board of directors, so our enforcement teeth are there. Communications, training, awareness, and standards are critical success factors for us. We are not using an asset recovery product at this time. If you would like to talk off-line, please feel free to call me.

We are looking for a tool that will allow us to manage the keys. I'd like to know what those of you looking at or using whole disk encryption are using and why. Also, does anyone know if there is one product that provides both whole disk encryption and asset recovery?
