Mac and Boot Camp

KLB

Anyone using SafeGuard for Mac and still able to use Boot Camp? 

We're looking into this solution but their documentation only states No Boot Camp Support.  I can interpret that a few ways but does that mean that if you have a boot camp configuration and you encrypt the drive, that boot camp becomes not available?  DUal boot support would be a great solution.

Any insight / clarification would be appreciated.

Kevin

    I was just advised by my Sophos SE that Boot Camp will be supported in the next release which will be released at the end of January '11.   Good news for those who use Boot Camp!

    Hi Kevin,

    Thank you for your post as well as proving an update.

    I want to address your question nonetheless. Post installation, SDE for Mac will repartition the disk, so having Boot Camp in installed will pose a problem. Now that SDE for Mac will be compatible with Boot Camp, only the Mac OSX partition will get repartitioned.

    Important Note - if you plan to use Boot Camp in the future, make sure that Boot Camp and the Windows OS is installed before SDE for Mac.

    When SDE for Mac 5.50.1 is released, please read the release notes prior to installing to make sure your computer meets the requirements.

    David,

    Just out of curiousity, do you need to have two separate FDE licenses if you wanted both OS's encrypted (one SDE for Mac, one SGE)?

    Hi ssij,
    How have you been? This release will only support encrypting the Mac OSX partition. So to answer your question, only SDE for Mac will be need to be licensed. In the meantime, any sensitive data stored on the Windows partition can be protected using SG PrivateCrypto (PC) or SG PrivateDisk (PD). Especially if an organization is already using SGN, the keys for SGPC and SGPD can also be escrowed in the SGN database because it's a shard key-ring.
