GuardianEdge Advanced Authentication

Extend Data Protection with Strong, Multi-factor Authentication

Many organizations require a more secure way to authenticate users during log-on and before accessing data on PCs, laptops, removable storage devices, and removable media. A multi-factor authentication solution meets this need by requiring users to both know something (their ID and password) and have something (a physical identifier like a smartcard) before granting access to systems and encrypted data.

GuardianEdge™ Advanced Authentication provides multi-factor authentication for GuardianEdge Hard Disk Encryption and GuardianEdge Removable Storage Encryption:

• When used with GuardianEdge Hard Disk Encryption, it extends the security of user log-on with multi-factor authentication to protect access to data stored on Windows systems
• With GuardianEdge Removable Storage Encryption, it enables the use of multi-factor authentication to safeguard access to data stored on removable storage devices and removable media

• Use Smartcards/Common Access Cards to extend user authentication
• Employ X.509-compliant cards readers and tokens
• Add strong multi-factor authentication for user login with GuardianEdge Hard Disk Encryption as an additional layer of protection for data stored on laptops and desktops
• Expand access protection for encrypted data stored on removable storage devices and removable media controlled by GuardianEdge Removable Storage Encryption
