Re: Full Disk Encryption and Media Encryption

We are using McAfee Endpoint Encryption which allows us to apply FDE preboot on laptops and were moving toward AutoBoot 
on workstations.
The McAfee endpoint tool allows us to force encryption if anyone wants to write to a USB or optical media. There's a 
lot of options and flexibility.
As we been using EPO for quite a while, management has not been a problem. When we pushed out FDE we had some problems 
because we didn't check the health of the disks on our laptops prior to encrypting and bricked a few.
So take a good look at McAfee endpoint encryption. I know there are other products that others are using and like very 
much also. Cheers.-grish

Full Disk Encryption and Media Encryption

Just wanted to see what vendors (enterprise solutions)  folks are using 
for FDE and MDE needs. 

 We currently have Checkpoint which is very unfriendly so I am looking at 
options. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 


Thank you.
