SafeNet ProtectDrive is a key component of SafeNet’s comprehensive enterprise data protection solution to reduce the cost and complexity of regulatory compliance, data privacy, and information risk management.
Hard Disk Encryption Quick Facts - ProtectDriveProtectDrive is hard disk encryption software for securing sensitive data. ProtectDrive provides pre-boot authentication and once installed, encrypts and decrypts data transparently. The pre-boot feature prevents unauthorized users from breaking into the operating system to access sensitive information. Encryption
Pre-boot Authentication
This ensures hackers cannot break into the operating system to access stored files in the clear. User Management ProtectDrive integrates with the Windows user manager to provide seamless user administration and management. As users are added or removed from Windows, this is automatically synchronized with the ProtectDrive pre-boot authentication screen. Both local and domain user profiles are supported. Password Management User passwords are synchronized with the Windows password, unless this feature is explicitly switched off during installation of ProtectDrive. Single sign-on Pre-boot password or token login credentials can be set to automatically be passed on to the Windows post-boot authentication environment, enabling single sign-on to Windows. Full drive/partial drive encryptionProtectDrive can encrypt the full disk preventing access to all data, or dedicated sections of the hard drive. At all times, ProtectDrive encrypts all operating system files, including temporary and page files. Multi-boot support ProtectDrive secures systems that require a multi-boot environment. Multiple users support ProtectDrive can be configured to provide authenticated login and data security to over 200 different users on a single device. This eliminates the need for users to share accounts and passwords. Pre-boot token support/Strong authentication ProtectDrive easily enables configuration of tokens with X509 certificates to achieve ‘Strong Authentication’, also known as 'two-factor authentication'. X509 certificate supportProtectDrive can use the integrity of the X509 certificate on a token in combination with Public and Private Keys to strengthen pre-boot authentication. Port protection ProtectDrive can be configured to secure print and com ports, plus floppy drives from unauthorized extraction of data. Hibernation support ProtectDrive secures all files on the hard disk (including those in active memory) when the computing devices hibernation function automatically activates. Large scale network installation ProtectDrive can be easily remotely installed over large network infrastructures using remote with pre-definable security policies. Silent installation Silent installation enables deployment without the user being interrupted, or noticing. Logging ProtectDrive securely logs information on pre-boot events like successful/failed logins, and password changes. Remote password recovery – Challenge/Response ProtectDrive contains a recovery facility, allows the IT (help) desk to remotely recover user’s forgotten passwords, using a challenge/response mechanism. The basic procedure is;
