You forgot the "a", being it first letter of the alphabet is usually found VERY SOON by brute-forcing wink , better

Am I allowed to throw on the table the "plausible denial" issue? ?

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on full disk encryption?

Be careful about PointSec – earlier releases (I can't speak for the current) have had problems that made booting impossible, and required some kind of data recovery operation. (The one I'm familiar with was in the hand of service technicians, so if you were in the field when that happened, you were toasted.)

However, do your own risk analysis if you haven't already.

Don't forget that there are HDs with built-in encryption.

We use PointSec for all laptops where I work, and I've never seen that happen personally, but I have seen instances where newer, post-Checkpoint acquisition versions of PointSec go nuts and won't uninstall when I need to do a physical acquisition. That has been a real pain on more than one occasion.
