Data Encryption

Protecting stored confidential data is essential to protect against unauthorized disclosure of confidential electronic information. While mobile devices, such as laptops and PDAs are susceptible to being lost of stolen, the risk of theft, improper disposal, hackers and malicious employees put workstations and servers at considerable risk as well. Data encryption is a way to fortify computers and provide an unsurpassed level of data security.

Data Encryption Technology Brief Data Encryption utilizes encryption algorithms to secure data against unauthorized disclosure. Data Encryption can allow for the encryption of the entire hard drive or individual files on laptops, workstations and servers, including the operating system files, to deliver a high level of security for confidential data at rest.

Industry Algorithms	back to top
Industry proven encryption algorithms ensure that the highest level of security is possible for your confidential information. 3DES IDEA AES-128 AES-192 AES-256

Pre-boot Authentication	back to top
Halting the system for pre-boot authentication ensures that no unauthorized access to the device is possible. Successful authentication is required before the system will decrypt the drive and continue the boot process. This authentication can be enhanced with two factor authentication utilizing smart cards or tokens.

Active Directory Support	back to top
In the full-disk and partial-disk encryption tools, seamless integration with Active Directory allows ease of use by users as well as ease of use by IT staff. This integration allows the IT staff to implement disk encryption with minimal training. Full-disk encryption also allows users to enter their logon credentials and utilize single-sign on with their Windows logon credentials.

Password Management		back to top
Password Management is made easy by the integrated Active Directory support as well as strongly protected administrative users.

Single sign-on	back to top
The full-disk encryption utility allows you to integrate single sign-on for your users when utilized with an Active Directory domain. This removes the need for users to remember multiple passwords in order for them to begin and/or continue their work.

Full/Partial drive encryption	back to top
Full and Partial disk encryption is available. Partial disk encryption creates folders that are secured with the same industry standards as the Full disk encryption.

Preboot Token Support	back to top
Preboot token support increases the security of the system by requiring a smart card or token for two-factor authentication. Without this token, decryption of the drive is impossible.

Port protection	back to top
Port based encryption is available. This allows you to automatically encrypt data transferred via a USB drive, burned to CD or DVD, floppy, and any future mobile data transfer technology.

Remote password recovery	back to top
Strongly protected administrative access allows for remote password recovery even if the user is not connected to the Active Directory or other authentication server. This allows the IT staff to support laptops for highly mobile users as well as normal workstations with minimal downtime due to loss of data or in the worst case, complete loss of data or functionality.
