Utimaco SafeGuard Easy v4.40.3.53 Retail

Encryption and Access Control for Laptops and Workstations SafeGuard Easy provides total company-wide protection for sensitive information on laptops and workstations. Boot protection, pre-boot user authentication and hard disk encryption using powerful algorithms guarantee against unauthorized access and hacker attacks. SafeGuard Easy is both simple to install and operates transparently in the background.

The Challenge
Laptop computers are becoming vital business accessories for mobile employees and executives. However, with laptop theft topping $1billion per year worldwide, company sensitive information stored on laptops is becoming increasingly vulnerable to malicious attack. The value of the stolen information often far exceeds that of the hardware.
Companies and institutions need security solutions to provide maximum protection, not only against loss of their sensitive information (e-assets) but more crucially still, against unauthorized access when their hardware is lost or stolen.
Typical operating systems of user-based security such as Windows platforms are unable to provide boot protection as their user-based security works only after starting the operating system.

The most significant features of SafeGuard Easy are:
Boot protection - allows boot-up of the operating system only after correct authentication
Strong hard disk encryption to protect information
Encryption of external data media (e.g. floppy disk, ZIP,JAZ etc.)
Easy handling, full scalability, distribution via network and central administration confirm SafeGuard Easy as the security solution of choice for every organization whatever the size.

Pre-Boot Authentication
The user is authenticated by means of pre-boot authentication (PBA) before the system is started and therefore before the operating system is booted. Neither keys nor passwords are stored on the hard disk.

Hard Disk Encryption
SafeGuard Easy encrypts the entire hard disk or individual parts, irrespective of the file system (e.g. NTFS, FAT etc.) - sector by sector, including the operating system, temporary files and all information. SafeGuard Easy effectively closes the security gaps left open by arbitrary file encryption. Data that has been encrypted using SafeGuard Easy is securely protected from unauthorized access, even if the hard disk is removed.

Algorithms
SafeGuard Easy supports the newly designated advanced encryption standard, AES, with 256 and 128 bit key length, Rijndael 256 bit as well as IDEA 128 bit. This powerful and globally accepted algorithm guarantees maximum protection.

Encryption of External Data Media
SafeGuard Easy supports the secure exchange of data between individual company offices by using configurable data media encryption (such as floppy disk, ZIP, JAZ etc.).
