SafeGuard Easy

Hard Disk 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.

SafeGuard Easy

SafeGuard Easy not only supplies vital boot protection on Windows platforms, but also protects sensitive data using strong hard disk encryption.

Using SafeGuard Easy, unauthorized access to sensitive information on laptops or desktops is effectively prevented, because:

Without correct authentication, all data remains encrypted (boot protection).

Unauthorized persons are prohibited from accessing the system because pre-boot authentication (PBA) requires the authentication of the user before the operating

system is started. PBA cannot be manipulated and therefore guarantees maximum security.

Many other protection programs are ineffective because they permit the readout of the keys or passwords from the hard disk. SafeGuard Easy prevents this by generating the code key required for boot-up from the typed password. Even hard disk analysis tools become ineffective against SafeGuard Easy.

Unlike other solutions which encode only selected files or directories, SafeGuard Easy encodes the entire content of the hard disk. This means that all the information on the hard disk is protected - regardless of where the data is stored.

Utimaco Safeware uses powerful algorithms and encryption methods to ensure that operating processes are executed efficiently and without delays.

SafeGuard Easy provides boot virus protection to resist boot sector viruses - hazardous sabotage tools that operate by interfering with the Master Boot Record and allowing hackers to gain control over the PC.

SafeGuard Easy lives up to its name within all organizations regardless of their size. The software can be installed conveniently throughout the company using configuration files without user intervention. SafeGuard Easy also allows user-specific privileges to be defined (e.g. disabling disk encryption).

A secure challenge/response procedure is available to re-issue passwords that have been entered incorrectly or forgotten.
