Should PGP really die?
I think Symantec should write an article commenting or debating this Article: http://thehackernews.com/2014/08/cryptography-expert-pgp-encryption-is_19.html Some of our customers, who have read the article, have reached us asking if PGP product line will continue or not. Not to mention prospects reading this article. The views of this expert have been translated into spanish and also reproduced in servera security portals, we would like to know, and be able to share with our clients the product roadmap, and how is Symantec planning to overcome some of the issues that the product may have. Besides changing the product name, rebranding and repackaging, what else should we expect to see in the Symantec encryption product line Juan Carlos Alvarez
Unable Access Second Partition After Formatting Primary Partition
I recently had fully encrypted hard disk (Toshiba mq01abd075), operating system (Windows 7 Professional), two partition. C (146 GB) and D (548 GB) and 4 GB Unallocated space. I ran the system restore for partition C, after which I was unable to access the operating system. I reinstalled the operating system partition C. I installed PGP WDE, when I entered in the program, partition D does not appear to be decrypted. Partition D appears in My Computer (0 bytes), in computer management at disk management appear 548 GB RAW. If I double click on it ask me for Format, but i've never click Yes, so the second partition was never touch after the problem.After this I reinstalled twice the OS. Now I have windows 8.1 but stil,but still I have not touch the second partition. I've tried to decrypt the drive with a few tutorials such as(WinPE and put the hard disk as second partition): http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH170574 http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH149478 Give me various errors suchs as: "Could not locate valid BGFS record. Recovey failed! Operation recover disk failed: Error code -11984 item not found" or "Disk 1 is not instrumented by bootguard" and others. I know was my fault. Please give me a solution. P.S: Sorry for my english, I'm not native and please move this topic if it was not posted properly
Futile tries to make a decision
Dear sirs. I'm an IT-manager of some <200 users, so I need some info about vomtu DLP module, which stores HTTP-POST and UPLOAD requests, before I would buy it. Now I spent a week while futilly fighting with: 1. Russian desk (call-center routes me nowhere) 2. Some unlucky secretary from ur russian office - who took my contacts, and now she's keeping silence. 3. First 7 "partners" from partners list on ur site. Those "partners" loosing their interest when they understand that I'm not gonna spend $100k for them, so I should persuade them to sell me this damn vomtu? Is there any of you, Symantec, who cares? Thank you.
