We're using PGP Whole Disk Encryption on Macs.

There is a beta version available for Snow Leopard (32 & 64 bit).

Any word on iPhone encryption as well?  Thanks in advance

We use Checkpoint's full disk encryption product (formerly Pointsec)
for Mac encryption.

Thanks for the heads-up on Snow Leopard. Looks like they just
released it on the 10th. :)

With OSX, the included encryption tool only encrypts data that is
stored in the user's folder. This leaves too much to chance, so we
are extending our PointSec deployment to the Macs.

Apparently CheckPoint has worked out the incompatabilities that
PointSec had with Snow Leopard (as has most everyone else).

We're coming up on our Checkpoint renewal.  I'm curious what folks
are using for Apple hardware encryption.  Are you using the built-in
product or something extra such as PointSec?
