Complete security Suite - what do I get for encryption?

Nodrog

Hi

I have just upgraded to the complete security suite but i am at a loss when it comes to encryption.

I have an installer for SafeGuard Easy which I ran through and tested on a few machines. It seems to work well but I found the lack of deployment tools and managing end user keys a bit of a pain.

I then read that with the Complete Security Suite I can manage encryption from the Sophos Enterprise Console which seems to be a far simpler deployment method. So I remove the encryption from the test machines and uninstalled the SGE policy editor.

I then upgraded my enterprise console to 5.1 which sure enough has the encryption policy and deployment features in it.

I though the SafeGuard Easy was the cut down version of Sophos' encryption portfolio, but looking at the setting in Enterprise Console, it looks like the poor relation to SafeGuard Easy. Am I wrong?

There are no configuration options for removable media or changing the POA images. Is it just on or off?

Should I revert back to SGE if I want some control over my encryption?

Anybody else tried both solutions that has any views on either?

thanks

    Hi Nodrog,

    on the client side, running SafeGuard Easy and the Endpoint Security Client (w/o encryption) on the same machine is not a problem.

    Please mind that the side by side installation of the SafeGuard Easy Policy Editor and the Sophos Enterprise Console incl. Full Disk Encryption on the same machine is not possible.

    Side by side installation of both components works, if the Sophos Enterprise Console is not used to manage Full Disk Encryption.

    Cheers,

    Chris
