Key management is needed if Data needs to be recovered - automatic backup of Data to a Data center eliminates the need for Data to be recovered so "Keyless Encryption" works to prevent Data theft. Isn't all Data Backed Up? Dennis Meharchand CEO, Valt.X Technologies Inc.

We were mid-stream in encryption vendor reviews when PGP, Guardian Edge and now Sophos have been bought/sold. Unsure of the commercial market, we are now considering simply using OS-based encryption - Bitlocker and Mac encryption. We are primarily concerned about key recovery with 'free' products, as well as ease of deployment, administration, and support- particularly off-hours. Has anyone successfully implemented Bitlocker with AD key storage and recovery, and what success/horror stories do you have. Any other suggestions on current products such as Checkpoint, or others? Thanks in advance for the help. Kim Heimbrock Director, IT Policy and Compliance Northern Kentucky University (859) 572-5139 heimbrockk () nku edu
