[FDE] Managed subscription based FDE solution

[Dennis Kezer]

Looks like the solution is to provide pointsec and the subscription
basically pays for centralized management of the encryption.  Might be
useful for smaller operations who can't afford to maintain centralized
management of the encryption application.

Alertsec (a spin-off of Pointsec) is offering managed subscription
based FDE solutions. For $13/month you can protect your laptop with
Full Disk Encryption. However the cost seems pretty steep.
Off-the-shelf FDE products cost anywhere from $50-150. At $13/month a
years subscription is $156. For this much you can easily purchase a
FDE product, and use it for the entire life of the laptop, which is
usually 3-4 years.
