It's great that you get the machines physically back, though we're
focusing primarily on preventing unauthorized access of the data -
and the requisite reporting requirement - regardless of whether you
get the machines back or not.

It has been great.

Hello All,
I'd appreciate hearing what laptop encryption products are in use out
there and preferences in whole disk encryption vs. file/folder
encryption.

Also, any experience with Absolute Software and their lo-jack product
Computrace would be helpful.

Thanks.
