I received quiet a few suggestions, but only the following seem viable: Securewave Device Control (http://www.securewave.com/usb_security.jsp) Credant (http://www.credant.com/content/view/219/152/) Onigma (http://www.mcafee.com/us/enterprise/products/data_loss_prevention/index.html) Pointsec (http://www.pointsec.com/products/removablemedia/) These products only encrypt information bound for external storage media from a protected system. Everything else remains decrypted. Pointsec Media Encryption provides encryption for removable media by policy such that all data added to the media bound data is encrypted. A fully automatic encryption would cause issues for devices (e.g. digital cameras and media players), where the media should be readable, but if not modified (e.g. written back) then it should stay clear text. That is why PME "only" encrypts data if it is being copied from the protected system. saqib http://www.full-disk-encryption.net
