Hi,
I'm in the same boat as the originator of this thread. Basically our customers are demanding it but we are rolling out more macs without any centralized management whatsoever (not my call). Can PGP be as secure as wde products for windows? Can it be easy to manage and use with features such as sso and possibly integrate with AD? Basically we're looking for a product similar to products such as guardianedge Encryption Anywhere. Currently I do not think this exists? Thanks for your input!
Regards,
tony

Second that:
To crack Open Firmware Protection just remove physical memory - the
PW will be gone.
To read data from a non-encrypted hard drive, start-up the laptop (or
the iMac or any Apple computer for that matter) in Target Disk Mode
and set Finder to ignore permissions.
To read a non-encrypted hard drive from any computer runnning any OS,
connect it to a device you can mount on your machine. For starters,
an IDE device: http://www.granitedigital.com/catalog/

In other words: If I have physical access to your machine, only
encryption will keep me from reading (or writing to) your data.
Whether you need encryption or not is up to your policy.
Then again, encryption needs evaluation - FileVault is good, but PGP
can be better if configured properly.

Gregor
