This is what the customer says regarding the encryption:
the "OrganizationName" laptop encryption policy requires that any connection to the "OrganizationName" network to
conduct "OrganizationName"-related business from a laptop requires that the laptop be encrypted.
TrueCrypt (open source) is an acceptable encryption solution. It should be pretty straightforward to install. Alternatively,
if the person is supporting a specific system, there may be other solutions that would allow them to move off using VPN.
Does the above mean software encryption?
