Altiris® Notification Server deployment and reporting integration

An effective approach to protecting data on endpoints includes not only data loss protection via encryption, but also the ability to effectively manage systems, configurations, applications, and asset inventory. By actively managing the entire asset lifecycle, the Altiris® Asset Management Solution from Symantec addresses key components of this need. The GuardianEdge Altiris Connector extends this single console environment, making crucial data protection controls for deployment and monitoring available directly from the Altiris Notification Server™.

The GuardianEdge Altiris Connector integrates directly with the Altiris Notification Server™ Console, allowing IT administrators to improve security by streamlining the deployment and monitoring of GuardianEdge Hard Disk Encryption and GuardianEdge Removable Storage Encryption through the same familiar management console they already use for asset management, configuration management, patch and update control and more.

This integration allows organizations to proactively identify and protect systems at risk of data loss. Once identified, administrators can easily create installation packages and deploy GuardianEdge Hard Disk Encryption and Removable Storage Encryption to those endpoints from the Altiris console. Once deployed, the combined solution makes it simple to monitor completion, compliance and ongoing audit status from the console

By deploying GuardianEdge Altiris Integration in combination with GuardianEdge Hard Disk Encryption and Removable Storage Encryption organizations can use the Altiris Notification Server Console to:

Proactively discover systems that present risks to protected information and remediate
Easily create and deploy installation packages for GuardianEdge Hard Disk Encryption, Removable Storage Encryption and Advanced Authentication from the familiar Altiris Notification Server environment
View and create standard and custom reports for the state of deployment and installation, details of deployments, check-in and one-time password recoveries and more.

Altiris® Connector Key Benefits
- Simplified data protection administration for organizations using Altiris® Asset Management Solutions by enabling quick and easy operation from this familiar console environment
- Leverage the rich asset view offered by Altiris Asset Management Solution to identify machines that present data loss risk, and remediate directly from the asset management console
