[FDE] Pointsec Mobile Encryption vs Data Protector

[Ali, Saqib]

> Many file-based products will keep the data protected regardless of the location of the file--however, for this approach to work effectively, many products require the user to manually encrypt-decrypt-re-encrypt each time the file is touched.

Not really. I recently obtained a copy of Pointsec PME, and it
"automatically" encrypts everything that is copied "out" from a
protected computer. So if I copy a file from my laptop, which has PME
installed, to a external USB Flash Drive, the file is automatically
encrypted. I can still use the USB Flash Drive on other computers, but
just can not access the encrypted file. No user intervention required,
and the system is almost transparent.
