High-Volume Portable/External and Encrypted Drives

[Connie Sadler <csadler11 () GMAIL COM>]

I have a question for this group – some of our users have a need for secure
portable storage in large chunks (a TB?). I see these, for example:
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/external/blackarmor/ Are there
others that we can offer our users that are portable and still encrypted?
Ideally, I’d like to have key escrow as well, but I’m more worried right now
about our users storing large volumes of user data on external portable
drives without our knowledge. We’re looking at DLP over the long-term, but
in the meantime, we need an option for our folks who need to pull sensitive
data out of our central repositories onto a portable/external drive and
still have it encrypted in case of loss or theft. There aren’t many real
needs for this (we like to keep our sensitive data on protected servers!),
but I’d rather be part of the solution than to have them go around me.

Thanks much…

Connie
