Re: U-wide Full-Disk Encryption Costs

[David Grisham <Dgrisham () SALUD UNM EDU>]

We are using McAfee AutoBoot for our workstations and are currently
pushing to the enterprise. Laptops are using McAfee Preboot full disk
encryption. 
Since we own the suite of McAfee products, the prices were not
prohibitive given the fines and costs of breach reporting when
workstations walk away. 
Thanks and Cheers.-grish

We have the university and also an academic medical center and
hospital
chain.  We had used an encryption product (not named) for laptops
which
costs $60 per license.  It worked great but the cost was prohibitive as
we
moved to also encrypt all PCs.

We have moved to Microsoft Bitlocker with the MBAM console. We have
been
using it for about 6 months and it is working great.  No issues.  And
it is
part of our enterprise licensing agreement.

We have kept our other licensed product for some non-windows devices.



Thank you,
