Sophos has launched SafeGuard Disk Encryption for Mac. The program provides sector-based protection of disk volumes, utilizing 256-bit AES encryption. Other features include the ability to encrypt an entire disk including the operating system and page files, and integrated power-on authentication for multiple users.
Local and remote administrative functions are included along with detailed logs that show encryption status and user interactions. Records indicate any failed login attempts. The software is compatible with third-party system administration tools, such as Apple’s Remote Desktop.
SafeGuard Disk Encryption requires Mac OS X 10.5 or greater. There is a demo version. Pricing options are available via request from Sophos.
