Security Minisite

Enterprise Data Loss Protection for PCs

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, FireWire drives and keys, MP3 players, iPods, digital cameras, mobile phones, PDAs and CD/DVD burners puts organisations at significant legal, financial and business risk..

GuardianEdge Removable Storage Encryption, a key component of the GuardianEdge Data Protection Platform, allows enterprises and government agencies to maximise the business and productivity benefits of using removable storage devices, while minimising the risks they pose to data security. Implementing strong, policy-driven encryption, GuardianEdge Removable Storage provides an efficient, cost effective way to extend endpoint data protection to CDs/DVDs, USB memory thumb drives, portable hard drives, and other high-capacity portable data storage devices.

As a key component of the GuardianEdge Data Protection Platform, GuardianEdge Removable Storage Encryption delivers enterprise-grade manageability with fully integrated data protection controls and close integration with Microsoft Active Directory.
