Gary,

We have just started to review products for full disk encryption.  We've had
meetings with folks from PGP this week.  They stated that full disk
encryption will be available for Mac's (boot volume included) early next
year, however they were unable to give us a firm release date.



Regards,

Justin

So, what product(s) is everyone using for full-disk on Macs?

Our unit at Rutgers looked at a number of encryption utilities and, for most
purposes, sees the full disk encryption as our preferred method, to avoid
cases where the enduser may not store their sensitive files in the encrypted
folders.
