I've got a few mobile users onsite, some of which will be going away on business.

I need to make sure that some data on their laptops is encrypted, if lost or stolen.

Any reccomendations on some software ?

Will need to work with WinXP.

Thanks

You could encrypt the datafiles with PGP/GPG. Google should throw some light on that.

 

Thanks Steven.
Will go do a bit searching on that.

 

Can't you use the XP encrypted file system?

 

Not sure.

Some of the files may be transferred between XP and NT4/2000.

Would this still work ?

 

Don't think that if use XP encryption it can be opened on an NT4 system.
Agree with what the others have said, either pgp encrypt the files individually or use PGP disk.

Still looking at some stuff on the web just now.

At the moment we use Portcullis software on the NT laptops, but i'm not a great fan of it, as it uses password synchro etc..

Our site here has password changes every 30 days, which means going round all mobile users at the end of the month to re-synchro the passwords on the encryption software....far too much hassle.
