Consider using self-encrypting hard drives to improve performance and boot time.

(Despite the name it does support Macs) (the solution was waaay less expensive than the competitors and it included a file and folder encryption as well as full disk encryption as part of the core price) As with your solution, boot times are bad, it takes several minutes to get the machine up and running. But once the core drivers are all decrypted and everything's up and running, we have no operational performance issues Quinn R Shamblin --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Executive Director of Information Security, Boston University CISM, CISSP, former GCFA, PMP - O 617-358-6310 M 617-999-7523 Contact me securely: https://securecontact.me/qrs () bu edu -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of SCHALIP, MICHAEL Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2013 1:27 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] (***POSSIBLE SPAM***) RE: (***POSSIBLE SPAM***) Re: [SECURITY] Full Disk - Media encryption What did the full disk encryption do to your boot times? We're running Symantec Endpoint Encryption, and the management on the laptops is great - but the only real complaint that anyone has is the reeeeeeally long boot times....we've tried to trim them down, but - to little or no avail.... Just curious.....

So I have a number of other units in the HSC. Just upgraded to McAfee EPO and are looking forward to encrypting workstations with the autoboot component of the new version. Cheers --grish David D.

Looking for any advice and feedback on Vendor Solutions for Full Disk Encryption (FDE) and Media Disk encryption (MDE). We currently use Checkpoint -- however their new version E80.xx does not support our Symantec 12.1, 12.2 etc anti-maleware endpoint solution -- so we are forced to seek another vendor for our encryption needs. Checkpoint FDE/MDE was clunky and we have had lots of issues with it , so this is an opportunity for us. I just wanted to see what folks have found success with and if there are any recommendations.
