    Hi All, I usually work with SEP but today I have SEE question. If I encrypt a USB memory stick using SEE from my machine can I then at least read and copy off files from that USB stick on another computer that does not have any of our SEP products installed?

    cheers

    Hi Paul,

     

    I don't think so, as per the below:

    Makes sense that you would need the software loaded on another PC as encrypting a drive but allowing it to be accessed on another PC would invalidate the app or the purpose.

    Thanks!

    There is a removable media encryption piece to this:

    But you cannot just read those files if plugged into another PC without the proper software.
