How To, When You Have To Encrypt Absolutely Everything?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the first-step-is-teaching-people-how-not-to-be-stupid dept.

Dark Neuron writes "My institution has thousands of computers, and is looking at starting an IT policy to encrypt everything, all hard drives, including desktops, laptops, external hard drives, USB flash drives, etc. I am looking at an open source product for Windows, Mac, UNIX, as well as portable hard drives, but I am concerned about overhead and speed penalties. Does anyone have experience and/or advice with encrypting every single device in a similar situation?"
