“Data protection is of the utmost importance, but companies often don’t give it the attention it deserves. High profile data breaches like the recent Nationwide example have brought data protection to the boardroom.”

Mobile Data Protection Solutions for OMB Compliance

Encryption Anywhere™ Hard Disk

Encryption Anywhere Hard Disk is the most effective solution for protecting sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on laptop and desktop computers. Unlike solutions that only encrypt selected files and folders, our solution uses FIPS-certified cryptography to protect the entire computer hard drive, including application files, system files, temporary files and unused disk space.

Encryption Anywhere Hard Disk also offers advantages over competing solutions that rely on proprietary management consoles and relational databases, which are difficult to integrate and do not scale well in large and distributed IT environments. Our approach enables agencies to leverage their existing infrastructure for identity and access control, and it employs a native LDAP data repository for storing status information and encryption keys. As a result, federal agencies that adopt Encryption Anywhere Hard Disk gain standardization, remediation of identified weaknesses, and a clear chain-of-command and accountability structure for enterprise endpoint data security.

Encryption Anywhere Removable Storage

For an added layer of protection, Encryption Anywhere Removable Storage helps agencies protect sensitive data when it is transferred to USB thumb drives, iPods and other removable media. Customers use this data encryption software solution to block access to rogue devices across USB and FireWire ports, as well as to automatically encrypt all data transferred to authorized devices. These capabilities give agencies the assurance that sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) remains protected, no matter where it is stored or accessed.
