[FDE] FDE - Can we manage it?

[Bryan Glancey]

Jens -

	Full Disclosure - I did found this company and have worked on it
for several years, so you know my bias.

	We have several referenceable customers that have implemented
FDE on several thousand machines with only a single administrator. 
	
	Sprint, also does this as a managed service so you can buy FDE
without a single administrator - it can be entirely outsourced.

Regards;

Bryan

Subject: [FDE] FDE - Can we manage it?

After many years in the area of cryptography, I have seen that it can be
managed the hard way.  

Saquib, 
Of the products you tested, you covered access times, features, price
and such.  You did not reference any remote management capability to
speak of.  Are you considering adding that at a future date?

All, 
I am embarking on a major encryption initiative where I am starting with
FDE for laptops (approx 2000), but them moving on to desktops (approx
8000), servers (800-900) and storage (tapes, then e-mail etc.  As you
all know, there are many systems out there that do some segment very
well and a few that do many of them.  Each vendor is also very good at
presenting strong arguments for selecting their products.  

The problem is that key management has always been the bane of my
existence.  Is there a product that you know of that is capable of
managing and controlling keys effectively (ie: does not require a team
of people working full time on key management.
