Re: Data on sensitive computers

[Steve Brukbacher <sab2 () UWM EDU>]

I haven't actually implemented anything, but I looked into a product
called CyberAngel from Cyber Angel Security Solutions
thecyberangel.com
It has a "secure drive" feature that seems like it would be pretty easy
for the end user to encrypt/decrypt information.  Also has a tracking
feature as well.  Got a positive write up in SC magazine. We haven't had
a need for this yet, but this seems like an interesting solution....
