We have are in the process of implementing Symantec Endpoint Encryption on all of our employee laptops - seems to be 
working quite well.  We wanted something that had "key recovery" capability, (I've dealt with too many folks going on 
travel and "bricking" their systems while in other regions of the planet.)  Also allows us to "force" folks to bring 
their systems in to touch the network periodically (for patches, updates, inventory, etc.)

We too are looking at hard disk encryption, and sensitive data at rest in the coming months.

We purchased the Cisco IronPort WSA for curving Internet based malware threats and it has done a wonderful job.  You 
can contact me off list if you want to discuss our success with this device.

Hi.

I'm wondering the different security-related projects that people have on their plate for this year and next year.
A few of mine:

*         Encrypting removable media

*         Web application security

*         Finding sensitive data at rest

*         Implement solutions to decrease malware

Also, I was wondering if anyone uses a commercial/open source hardware/software web application firewall, how long it 
took to get up and running, and if you've been pleased with the results.


Feel free to respond to the list or email me off-line.

Thanks.
