Enterprise Full Disk Encryption

[arch3angel at gmail.com (Arch Angel)]

At my previous job we used PGP but where I am at now we use PointSec.  I
have not heard of any major issues with PointSec other than cost.  On my
personal stuff I use Truecrypt, but then again I may have as many systems as
a small business I don't have nearly 100 laptops...

I have 99 plus 1 parts one :) j/k
