We too are looking at hard disk encryption, and sensitive data at rest in the coming months.

We purchased the Cisco IronPort WSA for curving Internet based malware threats and it has done a wonderful job.  You 
can contact me off list if you want to discuss our success with this device.

Subject: [SECURITY] Security projects and web application firewall

Hi.

I'm wondering the different security-related projects that people have on their plate for this year and next year.
A few of mine:

*         Encrypting removable media

*         Web application security

*         Finding sensitive data at rest

*         Implement solutions to decrease malware

Also, I was wondering if anyone uses a commercial/open source hardware/software web application firewall, how long it 
took to get up and running, and if you've been pleased with the results.


Feel free to respond to the list or email me off-line.

Thanks.
