I guess my problem lies in the fact that I need a solution that is easy
to use or the people that I need the most support from (managers &
directors) wont use it and wont support it...
If they are required to encrypt every file before transferring to the
file server using a cumbersome program then they will just not do it...
It needs to be as simple as:
1. Save the file on server
2. Right click to activate encryption
And the files need to be re-accessible by a simple double click and
then a password prompt.
Microsoft EFS is the best solution I have seen but it is not activated
on AD yet and the administrator was a little hesitant to allow user
acces to this facility...
I might have a look into PGP...
Some of the programs I tried to use include:
- Folder Security Guard
- Hide Folders
- Folder Password
- SecuKEEPER
- Universal Shield
All had their advantages but none worked over a network on a file
server...
Thanks for the feedback
