Your employer has always been very security conscious and to date does not use any company owned mobile or wireless devices like laptops and smart phones. A new project aims to evaluate options on the market for security implementing laptops within the company. One requirement is that all data stored on the laptop's drive must be encrypted. What type of drive could fulfill this requirement?
A Self Encrypting Drive (SED) is a type of hard drive that automatically encrypted all data saved to the disk. It is a hardware based encryption meaning that a circuit built in the disk drive controller handles the encrypted/decryption itself. All contents of the drive are encrypted including the operating system and any user files or documents.
