The most secure laptop in the world...

During the December 2007 and January 2008 timeframe Dell, in conjunction with Seagate and Wave Systems Co. ran a series of advertisements in major US publications.

The Dell Latitude series of notebooks is available with the Seagate MOMENTUS FDE.2 hardware based self encrypting hard disk. Encrypting and decrypting at full interface speed this is a new and safer approach to protecting data-at-rest. Unfortunately - and unexplainably - Hewlett Packard does not offer hardware based disk encryption solution. Lenovo and NEC Europe do.

Interesting here, that Wave Systems Co. not only builds the client application but also offers a full complement of enterprise grade central management tools for such platforms. Wave's ERAS server integrates into active directory and allows the simultaneous central management of FDE.2 and/or TPM configured clients.
