Does your organization utilize or mandate any form of data encryption? What about your personal laptop? Do you protect it with encryption?
It sounds great. But how would a non-encrypted machine be able to decrypt/access the files sent to it?
I think they are only encrypting the machine's storage. PGP Desktop will confirm identity before it boots whatever OS they run on the staff machines. The encrypted drives are then read through the PGP Desktop layer or PGP disk driver.
Files being sent in and out of the machine are already decrypted through reading them off the storage drive so they don't attached too email or transfer over the network cable as an encrypted block of data. Servers would work the same with, read/write too the storage includes the encrytpion/decryption steps.
You'd have trouble putting that hard drive in another machine to read it or reading the drive with a liveCD since they wouldn't be able to access the encrypted partition (or vault file, unsure which it uses).
