GuardianEdge Removable Storage Encryption

Protects Data on Removable Storage and Removable Media

Removable storage devices are now common in offices anywhere—and everywhere that today’s mobile workers go. And the proliferation of inexpensive USB thumb drives, portable hard drives, MP3 players, iPods, digital cameras, mobile phones, PDAs and CD/DVD burners puts organizations’ data and their business at risk.

GuardianEdge™ Removable Storage Encryption solves this problem by delivering the ability to encrypt data by policy on any storage device or media. This capability allows employees to safely transport and use data on portable media and securely distribute data via email.

GuardianEdge technology also minimizes deployment, management, training, rollout and support requirements by making maximum use of existing infrastructure through native Microsoft® Active Directory™ integration—as well Novell eDirectory™ support—within a single management console.

By deploying GuardianEdge Removable Storage Encryption organizations can:
  • Drive Productivity while minimizing the information security risks posed by USB thumb drives, FireWire drives and keys, MP3 players, iPods, digital cameras, mobile phones, PDAs and CD/DVD burners
  • Assure that intellectual property and sensitive or legally protected information on removable devices and media is accessible only to authorized users
  • Meet regulatory compliance requirements through strong, centrally managed encryption, including FIPS 140-2 certified and AES 128 bit/256 bit encryption
  • Allow users to securely take data home, work on the encrypted files, and re-encrypt the data on the removable media device even when GuardianEdge Removable Storage Encryption is not installed on their personal system
  • Securely distribute confidential and private information through email, FTP post, network drive or other mechanism with self-extracting encrypted file archives
