CREDANT Launches Full Data Encryption2

February 2008 by Marc Jacob

CREDANT Technologies, specialist in endpoint data protection solutions, has once again redefined security for data residing on vulnerable endpoints with the latest release of CREDANT® Mobile Guardian (CMG) Enterprise Edition (v6.0). Announcing Full Data Encryption2 specifically for Windows and Vista platforms, CREDANT is the first to deliver more comprehensive security than full disk encryption by protecting data against both external and insider threats in a single solution without compromising or impacting existing IT operational processes.

CMG’s Full Data Encryption2 is an expanded set of policy-based options that redefine encryption for the next wave of data-centric, pervasive computing and endpoint protection. Just as important, this is accomplished without the security and operational compromises inherent in full disk and user-controlled file/folder encryption solutions. Complementing CMG Full Data Encryption2, CREDANT is also introducing:

· A standalone version of CMG Windows Shield that ensures that an organization’s data remains secure when shared with a business partner

· Enhanced management, audit, reporting capabilities that ensure that any organization can prove that data stored on vulnerable endpoints were secured with encryption

· Expanded platform coverage (Windows, handhelds, smart phones, external storage devices) and enhanced features that protect data on all vulnerable endpoints

· Integration with one of the market-leading forensics solutions, which ensures forensics investigations can be performed without being hindered by encryption or compromising security

With CREDANT’s solution deployed, organizations can rest assured that all data is encrypted if a computer is lost or stolen, and that it remains uniquely encrypted during routine computer maintenance or when multiple people have access to the same computer. In a single solution, CMG Full Data Encryption2 protects data against both types of threats, eliminates security gaps left by full disk encryption products, and reduces security administration. In addition, the CREDANT solution enables organizations to meet regulatory compliance requirements to encrypt customer and company data stored on employee, contractor, and business affiliate devices that have become part of the extended IT infrastructure.

CMG does not impact help desk and desktop operations’ total cost of ownership (TCO), time-sensitive forensic investigations, or disaster recovery processes, thus enabling enterprises to cost-effectively meet compliance requirements while ensuring business continuance — a critical need for enterprises today. CMG Full Data Encryption2 is proven, transparent, and secure. Based on CREDANT’s proven and customer-endorsed Intelligent Encryption engine, it has been FIPS 140-2 validated and has gone through extensive penetration testing by third parties.

 Key new features

. CMG Full Data Encryption2 redefines endpoint data protection for Windows and Vista to support both the insider and external threat of a data breach in one centrally managed fully integrated solution.

CMG Enterprise Edition Shield for Windows protects data at rest on all of an organization’s laptops and desktops. It includes CMG External Media Shield to protect data that is moved from laptops and desktops to all types of external media — CD/DVD, USB Flash Drives, USB external storage devices, iPods, and more.

CMG Stand-Alone Windows Shield protects data at rest on computers that an organization does not manage, such as those belonging to independent contractors, business partners, and affiliates.

CMG Vista Shield can replace Bitlocker or augment its security by protecting against the insider threat by keeping each user’s data uniquely encrypted during routine computer maintenance or when multiple people have access to the same computer.

· Enhanced management server supports more granularity and control to meet the growing demands of policy-based systems to support diverse types of devices, users and data.

· Improved audit and reporting features provide simple “Prove IT” compliance and audit reports.

· Expanded device support, improved usability, and security for smartphones, PDAs, and other handhelds protect data assets on the move:

Support for Symbian OS9 devices

Expanded support for WM6 Professional and Standard (Smartphone) devices

Enhanced Windows Mobile Smartphone usability

Security through SMS restrictions for Windows Mobile
