Re: Laptop Drive Encryption



David,
Since everything is only password protected at the end of the day, Filevault included, you may just want to disable automatic login in the security control panel and maybe even set it to require it on wake and set an auto logout time as well, if they don't have the password they're not gonna get anything more or less than if they know the password to Filevault.
Of course you can do multiple passwords etc and use both, but if there are no nuclear secrets in there I try to make the effort worthy of the real risk.
Cheers,
Ed

Hello Listers,

I've been asked to look into encrypting the data on users laptops to
minimize the damage done by a lost or stolen laptop. The first thing that
comes to mind is Filevault which seems like it could be adequate. Has anyone
used this in large deployments? Are there any other solutions for automatic
data encryption on Macs?


Thanks in advance!
