Compliance-Ready, Non-Disruptive, Centrally Controlled Endpoint Data Protection

Traditional Solutions are Unreliable, Clumsy and Hard to Manage.   

Traditional solutions for endpoint data protection include file folder encryption and full disk encryption (FDE). They each have benefits – but they each have serious flaws. With a file folder system, users create an area in a file or folder where data can be kept secure. This is a cheap solution -- until you start trying to manage the infrastructure. Sure, users can drag and drop data into the secure folder. But what happens if the data is not put in the right place?  That data is not secure.

There are other problems with file folder systems. Security is dependent on user behavior, not policies. Temporary application files can leak information. The system lacks central administration and key recovery. Based on all these limitations and more, large enterprises rarely use file folder systems for compliance.    

FDE solutions have been around over 20 years. The technology is widely used, but it can present serious problems. FDE systems require radical changes in operational and support processes. They often conflict with other solutions like enterprise back-up and recovery, patch management, multi-factor authentication and forensics applications. Even worse, they are notorious for having a high “brick” rate (when a machine locks up and won’t run). Other FDE problems include the lack of a single management console to protect all devices, enforce policies or gather reports.
