Encryption

Saved information is one of a company’s most important assets. As more and more confidential and valuable data is carried around by employees, the protection of sensitive enterprise data, especially in mobile computing, is more important than ever.

If a mobile device or data medium does not have adequate protection, thieves could, for example:

• Boot a PC using an external medium like a CD or USB memory stick and access all the saved data without activating the operating system’s access control.
• Find confidential documents and information and either use it themselves or sell it to a third party.
• Use the PC or data medium to import undesirable data and sneak in harmful programs like trojans or viruses that then compromise system stability.

For companies to protect themselves effectively against these types of attack, we recommend that they use special security software to complement the operating system’s own mechanisms and guard the PCs, along with their operating system and confidential data, against changes or unauthorized access.

The most important demands made on such hard disk encryption software are:

• Effective protection for mobile PCs and data media
• High levels of trust and reliability
• Ease of use
• Simple implementation of company-wide security guidelines
• A fast and stable product

These requirements are fully covered by SafeGuard Easy, the market-leading hard disk encryption solution, and which has been proven by millions and certified by Common Criteria.
