PGP Whole Disk Encryption used in conjunction with PGP Endpoint allows an administrator to set flexible, granular device policies. For example, an administrator can specify a policy disallowing all mp3 players with a USB interface while at the same time permitting usage of certain USB devices. An administrator also has the ability to specify multiple encryption options: PGP Whole Disk Encryption for removable devices, or PGP Endpoint removable device encryption. The latter option allows users to share an encrypted USB with a user not running any PGP client software. With PGP Endpoint and PGP Whole Disk Encryption installed, when a removable device is used, the PGP Endpoint client will query the PGP Whole Disk Encryption client and enforce policy accordingly.
