Overall Satisfaction with Pointsec
You would think "no system is 100% secure" when a corporate laptop goes missing and that is a big problem. Pointsec's full disk encryption solution ensures your information isn't exposed.
- The product works with Windows, Linux, and OS X.
- The management of Pointsec has really become very simple and centralized for all IT to handle with ease.
- Preboot encryption keys in the form of a password, by inserting a USB drive containing the key and/or using a one-time password generating device such as an RSA token.
- Decreasing vulnerability to attack is the key, it's the game to play and Pointsec plays it very well.
- Key management systems and the various recovery options are very well thought out.
- Full disk encryption vs. file or folder encryption system. With FDE data is encrypted automatically when it's stored on the hard disk making this the best solution.
Symantec Encryption, a few management points led me to evaluate and not go with it.
