SafeGuard Utimaco U.S.A. has announced the availability of SafeGuard® Easy 4.0, the newest version of its full hard disk encryption software for personal computing. The new release adds powerful features delivering new data security functionality for mobile computing users.
WORCESTER, MA (PRWEB) August 30, 2004 –- SafeGuard Utimaco U.S.A. has
announced the availability of SafeGuard® Easy 4.0, the newest version of its
full hard disk encryption software for personal computing. The new release adds
powerful features delivering new data security functionality for mobile
computing users.
SafeGuard Easy is the ultimate data security software
solution for encryption and user authentication of PDAs, laptops, workstations,
PCs, email, and networks. The newest version, SafeGuard Easy 4.0, adds
significant new features for mobile computing users, including enabling PC users
to secure their data while making use of the power-saving hibernation mode on
their notebooks, and encrypting their data on USB sticks and memory cards. The
new release also supports Wake on LAN (WOL) functionality so that IT managers
can securely take advantage of today’s modern software distribution
methods.
The hibernation feature on notebook PCs enables users who
temporarily stop using their notebook to simply pause and then later restore
their work. This user-friendly, battery-saving hibernation mode is supported in
Microsoft Windows 2000 and all later versions. SafeGuard Easy 4.0 enables users
to ensure secure hibernation by encrypting generated image data on the hard
drive, thus keeps the data secure at all times, regardless of whether the PC is
in use or in hibernation mode.
SafeGuard Easy 4.0 extends encryption to
removable media such as USB sticks and memory cards, as these are even more
easily stolen than the notebooks themselves. This functionality allows the
implementation of a secure data medium exchange within the company, while
simultaneously protecting the contents of mobile data media against unauthorized
access.
The new Wake-On-LAN support of SafeGuard Easy 4.0 guarantees
secure software distribution with active hard disk encryption. This provides an
ideal solution to maintaining security during booting and the much-needed
convenience for the administrator in large organizations unmatched by any other
product.
The SafeGuard Easy hard disk encryption software solution
provides an electronic fortress for the PC, providing complete data protection
for laptops and workstations. SafeGuard Easy incorporates boot protection;
pre-boot user authentication, single sign on (SSO), and full hard drive
encryption using independently approved algorithms which guarantee against
unauthorized access and hacker attacks. The most robust security tool in the
industry, SafeGuard Easy is virtually invisible to the end user, delivering
advanced security, ultimate reliability, transparent user interface, ease of
deployment, and high security certification.
SafeGuard Easy 4.0 is
available immediately. To download a fully functional demo version, visit www.safeguard-utimaco.com. For more information, contact
