ProtectDrive = Ultimate Security

ProtectDrive encrypts the entire hard drive on laptops, workstations and servers, including the operating system files, to deliver the ultimate level of security for confidential data at rest, stored on mobile and network attached computing devices.

Encryption Algorithms: 3DES, IDEA, AES-128, AES-192, AES-256

Full disk encryption (including system files), utilizing industry proven algorithms, secures all data against unauthorized disclosure.

ProtectDrive secures residual data, temporary files, paging files and hidden partitions that are often left unprotected by other encryption methods.

Pre-Boot Authentication

Hard drive encryption using pre-boot authentication ensures unauthorized users cannot view (in a decipherable format), or modify the contents of the operating system and file system. This includes critical system files such as temporary, registry, memory page and hibernation files.

Successful authentication by the user allows the decryption of the actual operating system files, enabling system boot and access to all encrypted data on the device

Masterboot record virus Protection

ProtectDrive incorporates master boot record virus protection to secure the master boot record against manipulation, virus or malicious software.

The master boot record on all boot devices (with or without encryption software) must always contain a boot loader that is in the clear (readable format) to enable pre-boot system initiation. Upon pre-boot initiation, ProtectDrive scans the boot loader identifying and correcting abnormalities such as manipulated code or viruses that may facilitate access to encrypted data.

Hibernation Protection

Information that is in active memory is automatically written to the hard drive in encrypted format immediately upon initiation of the computers hibernation function. User authentication is required to wake the device from hibernation and reactivate the operating system.

Single and two-factor Authentication

ProtectDrive facilitates increased log-in security utilizing two-factor authentication where smart cards or tokens securely store a private key that is unlocked by the user password. ProtectDrive utilizes the private key to authenticate the user’s identity and to decrypt the symmetric disk key, which is then used to decrypt data residing on the hard drive.
