ProtectDrive = Ultimate Manageability

The functionality of ProtectDrive delivers the ultimate ease of administration in networked environments of all sizes. The integration of administration management functionality into existing management systems (such as Microsoft Active Directory) ensure administrators work within a familiar management environment.

Choice of centralized or local ProtectDrive system and user policy management

The ability to choose between centralized (server-based) or de-centralized (client-based) system and user policy management ensures your IT management practices are not dictated by the security product architecture. This provides full flexibility to fit into your organization’s existing IT security policies.

Seamless integration into the existing Windows user management utilities

Seamless integration with Windows key and user management practices alleviates the need for alternative user management systems. Windows local and domain users are automatically integrated into the ProtectDrive pre-boot environment regardless of authentication type, such as passwords or smart cards/USB tokens with Microsoft certificates.

Seamless integration into Windows Active Directory

ProtectDrive provides the option to seamlessly integrate into the existing Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-in. This facilitates rapid and effortless implementation of existing system and user policies ensuring faster deployment. Not only is the laborious task of re-creating or importing users into a new security application avoided, but also the cost and risk of purchasing and learning a new security management tool, plus all associated hardware.

Automated remote network roll-out

ProtectDrive provides cost-effective automated network-wide deployment via the Microsoft Group Policy Object. Initial system and user policy configuration is further automated with the use of predefined ProtectDrive default configurations prior to network roll-out.

Transparent encryption management

ProtectDrive automatically manages encryption keys throughout the process of all system and user policy management. All encryption activity is transparent to users and systems administrators.
