The departmental response to the request for commitments to purchase licenses of PGP Whole Disk Encryption software for laptops and desktops was outstanding, so K-State will purchase 1,000 licenses rather than 500 at an even better price of $32 per license. At the deadline, departments committed to purchasing 849 licenses for Windows and 118 for Mac OS for a total of 967 licenses.
By buying 1,000 licenses, K-State was able to hit the next volume-discount tier and save the university $6,000 in the process, plus get a few extra licenses.
Anyone interested in more information about PGP and whole disk encryption should attend SIRT’s IT security round table discussion this Friday, Dec. 12.
