Re: Whole Disk Encryption Tools

[Krizi Trivisani <krizi () GWU EDU>]

Hi Kim,

At GW we are using Safeguard Easy (Utimaco product) for full-disk encryption.  We just finished a successful pilot and 
have been approved to move forward with our phased enterprise roll-out.  Our first phase is full-disk encryption of 
laptops for high risk users (target by end of Feb; approx. 700 laptops).  We will also be encrypting desktops in Phases 
2 and 3.  Fortunately we have a mandate from our board of directors, so our enforcement teeth are there.  
Communications, training, awareness, and standards are critical success factors for us.  We are not using an asset 
recovery product at this time.

If you would like to talk off-line, please feel free to call me.

Cheers,
Krizi
