I couldn’t have outlined any better the shortcomings of a fully encrypted disk drive. The one fault of a file/folder encrypting system is that it puts security responsibility in the hands of the user. Not so with Lost Data Destruction (LDD) from Beachhead Solutions where encrypting (and other security policy) is managed by the organization through the “Cloud.” Cloud-based management allows policy to be changed immediately, including remote denial (and restoration) of access to the data, even to those who have the credentials (e.g. thief who also stole the password or terminated employee still in possession of the PC. A solution such as this manages and enforces encryption without the problems associated with whole disk encryption. Best of all, it gives management considerable control and flexibility over the sensitive data on PCs.
