We are looking for a secure way to store very sensitive files on our Windows servers. The data is shared. We will turn on full auditing, create hidden shares and a security group. Which type of protection would be most suitable: Office 2003 encryption Windows EFS Winzip 9.x encrypted archives RSA SecurID Windows Agent (2 factor authentication) PGP Desktop Pro Our concern with the Windows/Office encryption types is that it could be cracked - ie. someone could get hold of the file and run some kind of password recovery on the file and access the data. Any ideas on how to approach this would be much appreciated.
