Recommendations on Encryption software

[scottew]

Hello all,

I was looking for some recommendations for encryption software. I would like an enterprise product for all of our workstations, laptops, mobile phones, etc. We have 3 locations and about 150 users.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

Have used TrueCrypt for a couple clients who did not have resources for expensive products. Easy to setup but causes delays on desktop response, sparse documentation, works.

Some links I gathered...

Truecrypt would be my first recommendation. With the native Encrytped File System feature of Windows 7 Professional/Enterprise/Ultimate a second.

Bitlocker is awesome, and is a feature in Win 7/Server 2008 R2.

Stop by the new Tek-Tips group at LinkedIn. Come say hi, look for a job, have some fun.

Thank you for all the responses. The only problem with using Bitlocker at this point is that all our workstations are running Win7 Professional. I believe Bitlocker only comes on Ultimate/Enterprise versions. So I am looking at some third party apps and compare the cost with possibly upgrading workstations.

Thanks,
Scott

We have deployed PGP Desktop across our desktops (Windows XP/Linux -- but not on servers). The latest version we are using, isn't affecting performance in any way.
