Laptop Encryption
Due to the risk of theft or loss, all Information Technologies & Services (ITS)-tagged laptops must be encrypted using the ITS-managed encryption system. Encryption shall be provided, at no additional charge, for any ITS-tagged laptop used by Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC) faculty, staff, students, administrative officials or, in select cases, affiliates. Non ITS-tagged laptops, such as those that are individually or personally owned but used for WCMC purposes may also be considered for encryption at no additional charge.
Please be advised that the current version of the ITS-managed encryption system is not compatible with non-Intel Macs and Macs running Snow Leopard or boot camp.
