SafeNet - Disk and File Encryption

Protect the storage and transmission of sensitive data on laptops, desktops, servers and mobile devices - providing ultimate security, usability and manageability

Breaches of confidential data by hackers and rogue employees are increasingly commonplace, putting sensitive data, personnel records, government secrets, and intellectual property at risk. In response to the threat, privacy laws, along with corporate governance and industry-specific regulations, have become prevalent over the last several years.

Disk and file encryption solutions from SafeNet address the need to secure the sensitive data residing on company laptops and mobile storage media through robust encryption. SafeNet solutions enable organisations to deploy the most trusted security available, whilst minimising the cost of ownership by leveraging central management systems such as Active Directory

SafeNet solutions:

SafeNet ProtectDrive, ProtectFile and ProtectPack software solutions deliver the ultimate line of defence protecting the storage and transmission of sensitive data on laptops, desktops, servers and mobile devices.

SafeNet solutions include:

ProtectDrive

ProtectDrive hard drive encryption encrypts the entire hard drive of a laptop, workstation and server, to protect against disclosure of information in the case of theft and accidental loss of the hardware device. Pre-boot authentication prevents unauthorized users from circumventing the operating system to access sensitive information.

ProtectFile

ProtectFile file and folder encryption enables organizations to easily encrypt individual files and folders containing confidential information stored within servers, workstations, laptops and portable media. Cryptographically enforced access rights enables only those identities with pre-allocated permission to have the ability to read, write and modify encrypted files and folders.

ProtectPack

ProtectPack enables secure, encrypted transfer and storage of confidential data files on unprotected mediums (local, portable and on the network) that are difficult to defend by conventional perimeter security mechanisms. This includes data transferred via a portable USB drive, burnt to a CD or DVD, through email, or any other of today’s or tomorrow’s file mobility technology.

Total Solution

Each of the SafeNet data encryption products, ProtectDrive, ProtectFile and ProtectPack, in themselves, are a robust solution for the protection of electronic information that must remain confidential. When used in combination, this range of data encryption products can provide a heightened level of security. The ‘Protect’ family of data encryption products is designed specifically for medium to large organizations to uniquely address the industry needs of ultimate security, usability and manageability.
