Check Point has announced the release of Check Point Full Disk Encryption for Mac OS X, claiming to be the first vendor the industry's first full-disk encryption solution with pre-boot authentication to support the Mac OS.

The company Check Point Full Disk Encryption now supports all major laptop and desktop operating systems, including Mac OS X version 10.4.5 'Tiger' through Mac OS X version 10.5 'Leopard.'

Check Point claimed that its encryption products support more end-user platforms than any other products in the industry, from Windows, Linux and Mac OS based laptops to Symbian, Windows Mobile, Palm and PocketPC-based smartphones and PDAs.

"Enterprises and organisations have to secure 100 percent of their laptops and desktops to be fully protected," said Bob Egner vice president of product management at Check Point. "Check Point recognises that Mac OS has an important and growing place in the enterprise and is proud to offer enterprise customers endpoint solutions that cover all platforms and work in mixed environments."
