HI,

Have you looked at Device Control, by Lumension ?
<http://www.lumension.com/data-protection/>
In my opinion, it's a very good product. (From my view point as an
administrator of the product).

Though when you say you have a limited budget, you could always talk
with a reseller, and try to negotiate a discount for a volume order. I
can PM you the name of our reseller, (UK based),  who I have found to
be very good with pricing on the various security systems we have
bought.

Hi,

I'm working in a large enterprise that will look next year for an "enterprise class solution" that can handle all the 
life cycle of USB key that use encryption.

But now, we have to find a quick win solution that we can put in production shortly with a limited budget.

I personally used Truecrypt for several years but here the reason why I don’t want to use it for an enterprise 
solution:

1-If the user lost the password of his USB key, you are dead
2-If the user go on a computer that don't already have Truecrypt installed, you need administrative privilege

I did some search and I tried FreeOTFE (http://www.freeotfe.org/)

It does what I wanted to:

1-Technical Support will be able to create a backup key before giving the USB key to the user. So they will be able 
to recover the data if the user lost his password.
2-There is a utility called FreeOTFE Explorer that can open the encrypted volume on the USB Key in the case you don't 
have administrative privilege on the computer. The app is not very quick but it seems to do the job.

My question is: Did someone had any bad experience with this app? If yes, did you find a better one that did the 
things I mentioned before and was working fine?

Thanks

JEP
