SafeNet Protect Drive + iKey 2032

Today, common security threats include the misplacement of mobile devices, theft of PCs, laptops, and servers, as well as data theft when disks are discarded.  The risk and severity of data theft is increasing due to four predominant factors:

These factors, and the growing number of publicized data breaches, are driving more and more rules and regulations concerning data protection and privacy.  The key advantages of the SafeNet disk encryption and authentication solution are ease-of-use, high-grade security, and a single vendor source. 

Why do we stress ease-of-use before discussing encryption strength? After all, we’re perhaps best known for things like securing all voicecommunications on Air Force One and protecting intra-bank fund transfers. But when an IT staff cannot efficiently deploy security solutions, or end users resist adopting security measures, security suffers as surely as if one’s encryption is weak. 

Since the SafeEnterprise™ ProtectDrive disk encryption software and the SafeNet Borderless Security iKey™ 2032 authentication token come from the same security vendor, you are assured that an advanced Data-at-Rest security deployment will be rapid — and embraced. In addition, ProtectDrive’s Sign-On Assistant enables single sign-on at startup to several applications, such as ProtectDrive’s pre-boot authentication, Windows login, the Windows network, Entrust PKI, and Novell. This makes remembering your passwords to applications needed at startup a thing of the past. 

SafeNet’s ProtectDrive software encrypts the hard drives of laptops, workstations, and servers — including operating system files — to ensure ultimate protection against unauthorized access of sensitive data. As an added security advantage, users are only able to access systems after successful two-factor authentication utilizing SafeNet’s iKey 2032 USB token.  

The ProtectDrive and iKey 2032 products provide a robust security solution from a single vendor, with one point of contact for support and customized documentation that allows for easy installation and setup. Both products are built on mature SafeNet technologies that have been deployed in small and large enterprises. This smooth integration of strong token-based pre-boot authentication and disk encryption offer the best value in the market.
