As part of
our continued efforts to secure sensitive information, the University of Kansas Medical Center
began installing encryption software in early 2007 on laptops that
were identified as being used to store or access sensitive information.
Beginning in June, 2008, the University is now extending the program to cover
all University-owned, Windows-based laptops. The encryption software, a
McAfee product called McAfee Endpoint Encryption ("MEE" for short), provides full-disk encryption
that protects data stored on the laptop regardless of where it has been saved on
the hard drive. MEE protects the information in the event that the laptop
is lost or stolen.
In addition, the University is also implementing a software
package called CompuTrace, which is designed to assist in the
recovery of lost or stolen laptops. (KUPI-owned devices are exempted
from CompuTrace installation.)
Please visit the links to the left for more information on
Safeboot, CompuTrace or other ways in which you can secure your
mobile devices.
