We looked at Sophos but decided against it and hare having a conversation with Dell in a week or so. Most of our desktops right now are purchased without TPM (would love to hear from anyone who does order all their desktops with TPM) so tested BitLocker on one and though it works, it does require a USB drive to boot and that has its own set of problems. BitLocker tested on laptops with TPM works well but we haven’t had any out in the field yet. Has anyone implemented EFS and have pros and cons on that? Am also interested in Symantecs PGP so Jim I’ll ping you on that.

As such we have reviewed Symantec (PGP) Sophos and a number of others for FDE, MDE and FFE Currently doing (2 months now) POC with Dell and WinMagic(SecureDocs) Be happy to chat with you offline on our experiences thus far.

We selected this product a few years ago after evaluating various encryption solutions, some of which are mentioned by others on the list. At the time of our evaluation, DDPE was the only product that worked with a wide variety of hardware models from multiple manufacturers (typical in our environment), and one of the few that did not require a pre-boot authentication. Like others have mentioned, you must understand your environment and culture before selecting and deploying your product, while none of the products are perfect and each has its own strengths, you have to choose the product that best fits in your environment.

We’re in the initial stages of exploring encryption and I was wondering if anyone out there had any thoughts or suggestions on this topic? So far we’re looking at using BitLocker and maybe EFS. We’re also looking at Dell’s Data Protection Solution. Thanks! Will Will Quan Computer Analyst University of Washington Bothell Information Technologies (425) 352-5487<tel:%28425%29%20352-5487>
