Navigation * Home / Services / Becrypt Disk Protect Becrypt Disk Protect DISK Protect is a software security solution for Laptop and Desktop computers that secures data by enforcing strong User Authentication and fully encrypting the hard disk(s).
Full disk encryption. DISK Protect transparently encrypts a computer's hard disk(s), automatically encrypting and decrypting data on the fly so that applications can be used as normal. If, however, an unauthorised user attempts to access the hard drive directly, without going through the User Authentication process, the data remains encrypted and unintelligible. In addition, if the hard drive is later disposed of, any data it contains is unintelligible, even if recovered using specialised data recovery tools. Boot-time authentication. DISK Protect authenticates the user at boot-time, and can be configured to require a strong password or a token and PIN. Authenticating the user at boot-time allows DISK Protect to encrypt the Operating System to prevent unauthorised data access using low-level tools. Removable media encryption. Removable media encryption encrypts mass storage devices, such as USB memory sticks, and floppy disks, to protect data in transit. It may be performed using a shared Transport Key or a personal Media Key. DISK Protect 4 supports up to 26 password user accounts or an unlimited number of token and PIN user accountss per protected machine. Each User has a unique password (or token and PIN) which is used to authenticate him or her, and 'unlock' the computer. A user may have DISK Protect accounts on several protected machines. DISK Protect 4 features Single Sign-On for both password users and token and PIN users and provides secure mechanisms for unlocking the protected machine if the user has forgotten his or her password or PIN. An easy-to-use Management Tool permits an Administrator to create and manage user accounts and to reconfigure the local machine policy, and permits users to manage their own DISK Protect accounts and their Removable Media Keys. Two CAPS-approved versions of DISK Protect, DISK Protect Baseline and DISK Protect Enhanced, are also available, with features tailored to the handling and storage of protectively marked material
Pre-boot authentication. DISK Protect authenticates the user by password, or by password and token (see the table below for details). If the user fails authentication, he or she is prevented from logging in to Windows and the data of the machine remains secure. DISK Protect and DISK Protect Baseline also provide a mechanism (Challenge-Response) which allows an authorised user, with the aid of an Administrator, to unlock the computer and log into Windows without compromising data security. DISK Protect then forces a password change. Full-disk encryption. When first installed, DISK Protect encrypts the computer's hard disk(s). From then on, data is decrypted and encrypted on the fly and applications can be used as normal. If, however, the hard disk is removed from the machine, and the thief attempts to access the data by bypassing User Authentication, its contents are unintelligible.
The table below summarises and compares the features of DISK Protect Version 4, DISK Protect Baseline and DISK Protect Enhanced.
