MUNICH, Germany, May 24 /PRNewswire/ -- SecurStar's DriveCrypt Plus Pack is a customizable solution for companies and individuals that need to keep confidential information safe on their computers and networks.
It can encrypt the entire computer's operating system, and together with its management console, allows protection of an entire computer network made up of desktop computers and notebooks. The process takes place in real time and at a high security level, using a military strength encryption algorithm.
Companies commonly protect their sensitive data using a variety of means - - from firewalls to even encrypting hard drives -- and yet, they overlook portable network devices such as notebooks, which are the most vulnerable to data breaches.
For these cases, DriveCrypt Plus Pack Enterprise Edition with its management console is the best solution.
The encryption method used by SecurStar (AES 256 Bit) was tested by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and received a classification of "SECURE". AES is a symmetrical algorithm, and is used, for example, by U.S. government agencies for the protection of sensitive data.
With its full disk encryption, the computer's entire hard drive is encrypted and all documents are instantly available, on the fly.
DriveCrypt Plus Pack works differently than most of its competitors. When an encrypted file is accessed, it only deciphers parts of the file. Other products decipher large portions of the hard drive, even to make use of a single document, and thus creating gaps in security.
With DriveCrypt, data is never unprotected. Overview of DriveCrypt Plus Pack features: * Bootauth -- Reliable pre-boot authentication - Requires password before booting the OS; * Compatibility with multiples Windows OS platforms; * Full or partial hard disk encryption; * Sector level protection encryption; * AES-256-Bit encryption algorithm; * Encryption for drives of unlimited size; * Allows steganography to hide data in music files; * Protection against 'password dictionaries' and brute-force attacks; * Encrypt any removable media (external HD, ZIP, CD-ROM); * Specific rights for administrators and ordinary users; * Possibility of authentication via USB-token at pre-boot; * Possibility of creating a recovery disk; For more information, visit http://www.securstar.com/ BRIEF PROFILE OF SECURSTAR Created in 2001 and with headquarters in Munich, Germany, SecurStar GmbH develops encrypted digital security products, which are among the most used software and hardware in the private and corporate markets.
