Considerations for a Full Disk Encryption Deployment

After what seems like years of anticipation, Cloud-based computing, including cloud-managed IT tools have become reality. BusinessWeek last month wrote, “Cloud computing is one of the most significant advances in the computing universe in decades.” Today, major box manufacturers are building in hardware capability that is inspiring the development of tools that will allow an organization to manage, monitor, fix, secure, patch, update and optimize PC productivity - remotely and without user involvement. Adoption of a full disk encryption solution will present compatibility issues with these emerging tools. Take a look at the whitepaper “PC Encryption; Eyes Wide Open” (link to whitepaper) for a pseudo-objective discussion of the architectural incompatibilities between Full Disk Encryption and future computing trends.
