Re: Mac Encryption Suggestions

["Plesco, Todd" <tplesco () CHAPMAN EDU>]

After much deliberation, we've decided to accept the built-in FileVault
application to encrypt the homefolder of Macbook users.  It uses AES-128
and allows administration level entry in the e-discovery scenarios.  The
3rd party applications for full disk encryption not only drew too much
off performance but did not allow for recovery easily enough.

We're looking at implementing whole disk encryption for Macs, roughly
500 to 750 computers. Any advice on a product that can be managed
centrally and utilizes a reasonable amount of disk space and CPU cycles?


 

Thanks,
