Your electronic safe – protecting confidential data on notebooks, PCs, and PDAs

Sensitive and valuable data needs protection. It is especially important in mobile environments, where confidential information is at risk of being accessed by unauthorized personnel. Today, many companies and organizations give their staff mobile devices to increase efficiency.

Confidential in-house information such as research results, management analysis, and customer data is stored on these notebooks and PDAs. If this valuable information was on paper, the documents would be kept in locked filling cabinets or safes to protect them from being stolen or read by the wrong people. SafeGuard PrivateDisk gives electronic documents exactly the same protection.

SafeGuard PrivateDisk generates an encrypted “virtual” disk drive on the device. This disk is a well-protected electronic safe: any critical, sensitive, and valuable data (e-asset) can be securely encrypted and stored safely on it. You can store the SafeGuard PrivateDisk electronic safe on local hard disks, network directories, PDAs, and on mobile media such as USB and flash memory cards, CD-ROMs, DVDs, and diskettes.

Two versions of SafeGuard PrivateDisk are available:

• The Personal Edition is designed for use in small and medium-sized companies
• The Enterprise Edition, with its extended configuration and distribution options, is designed to meet the needs of larger organizations

SafeGuard PrivateDisk Portable allows users to extract files from a memory stick and read encrypted documents, even if the system has no encryption software installed.
