Secure your data wherever it travels with full disk encryption
DISK Protect is a full disk encryption solution for laptop and desktop computers. DISK Protect provides:
Full disk encryption. DISK Protect transparently encrypts a computer's hard disk(s), automatically encrypting and decrypting data on the fly so that applications can be used as normal. If an unauthorised user attempts to access the hard drive directly, without going through the User Authentication process, the data remains encrypted and unusable. If the hard drive is later disposed of, any data it contains is unintelligible, even if specialist data recovery tools are used.
Boot-time authentication. DISK Protect can be configured to call for a strong password or a token and a PIN. Authenticating the user at boot-time means that the operating system may be encrypted to prevent unauthorised data access using low-level tools. DISK Protect is compatible with most of the widely used tokens and smart cards.
Removable media encryption. DISK Protect encrypts mass storage devices, such as USB memory sticks and floppy disks, to protect data in transit.
DISK Protect supports up to 26 password user accounts, or an unlimited number of token and PIN user accounts, per protected machine. Each User has a unique password (or token and PIN) which is used to authenticate him or her and 'unlock' the computer. A user may have DISK Protect accounts on several protected machines. DISK Protect features Single Sign-On for both password users and token and PIN users and provides secure mechanisms for unlocking the protected machine if the user has forgotten his or her password or PIN. An easy-to-use Management Tool permits an Administrator to create and manage user accounts and to reconfigure the local machine policy, and permits users to manage their own DISK Protect accounts and their Removable Media Keys.
DISK Protect Standard
is the commercially available version of DISK Protect and has been awarded the CSIA Claims Tested Mark.
DISK Protect Baseline
is CAPS-approved to Baseline and reduces the protective marking of Restricted data by one level or, when used to enforce dual-factor authentication, reduces the protective marking of Confidential data by one level.
DISK Protect Enhanced is CAPS-approved to Enhanced Grade and reduces the protective marking of Confidential data by two levels.
DISK Protect Removable Media Encryption may be purchased and installed as a separate module (if full disk encryption is not required). This option encrypts the data written to removable media and may either employ a personal Encryption Key or a shared Encryption Key (allowing authorised users to exchange protected data).
