]]> Comment on Varonis Eval by Dave http://www.infosecblog.org/2011/06/5464/#comment-208197 Dave Sun, 17 Mar 2013 18:50:47 +0000 http://www.infosecblog.org/?p=5464#comment-208197 The Varonis product line worked decently well for us in the past, however Microsoft’s 2012 line has rendered it useless. All the functionality offered by their software is built-in and in my view is easier to use. Server 2012 is a bear to tackle with it’s enourmous feature set but is well worth the time investment to learn. It’s an excellent product that fills many of the gaps that this and many other 3rd party tools were once useful for.

]]> Comment on GuardianEdge Removable Storage Encryption by Rick http://www.infosecblog.org/2010/10/guardianedge-removable-storage-encryption/#comment-208184 Rick Fri, 08 Mar 2013 11:03:50 +0000 http://www.infosecblog.org/?p=5080#comment-208184 I have a problem with getting BSOD using Guardian Edge 9.4.1 on a USB drive on Windows XP. When I try to copy large number of files to the USB drive, Guardian Edge crashes the system. On the other hand if I compress the files into one zip file, it appears that no matter how big the resulting file, there is than no problem copying it to the USB drive. I’ve asked our sys admins and there response is essentialy to bad, live with it. Has any one had a similar problem and know of a way to make Guardian edge behave? The Sys admins tell me it just keeps grabbing more memory until it crashes the OS. Is there anyway to limit the amount of system resource guardian Edge grabs. We should be migrating to Windows 7 in next few months. Has anyone heard of this being a windows 7 problem also?

Yes. People who block ads do not click ads anyway, and as long as adblock is opt-in, this will never, ever be a problem.

]]> Comment on Self Encrypting Drives by Roger http://www.infosecblog.org/2013/01/self-encrypting-drives/#comment-208131 Roger Thu, 24 Jan 2013 04:32:10 +0000 http://www.infosecblog.org/?p=6189#comment-208131 I ran across Sophos’ support list for SED.
http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/113366.aspx
“In general, SafeGuard Device Encryption as of version 5.60 supports all drives (HDD/SSD) that follow the OPAL specification. ”
They then list devices they have specifically tested that work, and deviced that have been found not to work.
That is the approach I would expect from a SED management platform.

I also found Wave’s compatibility list for SED.
http://www.wave.com/self-encrypting-drive-compatibility-list
This is a long list of drives that have been tested and proven compatible with Wave.
Only a few drives are marked as FIPS 140-2 compliant.
