If you’ve ever had the need to encrypt your laptop’s data you probably realize what a pain it can be. Techworld is running a story on Laptop encryption for Windows. It looks like PGP and Pointsec were the only contenders with Pointsec being the only proven enterprise solution.

My only fear of doing full hard drive encryption is data recovery. One MBR corruption later and all the data recovery techniques in the world aren’t going to do a thing for you.
