Can I use the built-in Macintosh or Windows encryption instead?
• No, but it is not because they don’t work. • But the major point reason to use PGP Whole Disk Encryption as it is set up at UIC is: • PGP allows the ACCC (or your department) to set encryption policies remotely, ensuring that your machine is secure, and • that your PGP WDE checks in with the server periodically so there is a record to confirm that you are actually using encryption. This will be useful if your laptop is every lost or stolen.
