In today's computing environment hard drives on client computers often contain vast amounts of sensitive or confidential information. In most cases the operating system (Microsoft Windows) only provides insufficient protection for such data, whether on a standalone computer or on a managed client in a corporate environment.

Most measures to prevent unauthorized data access are only effective if you can provide physical security. When a computer or hard drive is lost or stolen, most security measures become ineffective. Anyone with physical access to the computer or drive can easily bypass file permissions or system passwords. Unless all data is encrypted, the business impact of  such a security breach can be catastrophic.

DriveLock Full Disk Encryption

DriveLock Full Disk Encryption (FDE) is one of the most complete disk encryption solutions available today. It protects your sensitive data, is easy to administer and implementation requires no additional servers. Key features of DriveLock FDE include:

• Encrypts entire hard drives, including system partition
• FIPS140-2 encryption

• Support for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
• Easy central administration and monitoring of encryption status

Upgraded to Windows 7?

Windows 7 provides a range of new security features - including full disk encryption with it's BitLocker technology.  However, Windows 7 does not address the device control and security requirements of the vast majority of companies and organizations. DriveLock provides granular and comprehensive device control. It is easy to implement, easy to administer and easy to use.
