Re: Whole Disk Encryption

We began laptop encryption at NKU about 18 months ago using Bitlocker.  We have had no problems with it whatsoever, and 
plan to begin using MBAM soon.  Primarily this has been in use for new systems as they are purchased and imaged, but 
there are also several older systems now encrypted (Windows 7).  There are plenty of debates about the use of 
Bitlocker, but for us it was the only affordable choice, which beats no encryption at all.  So far, so good for us.

Can I hijack this and ask if there are any good options for Android?

We use Symantec Endpoint Encryption.....and it's been great!!  Easy maintenance - key recovery options are really nice 
- and Symantec support has been great, too, (when necessary....)

Subject: [SECURITY] Whole Disk Encryption

Hello,

We are in the process of implementing whole disk encryption on our university owned laptops.  Initially, we will be 
using bitlocker on our Windows computers and I was looking to get some feedback from others on their experiences with 
roll out and management issues with this technology.

Thanks,

Jim
