Symantec Endpoint Encryption
Endpoint Encryption: Disk and removable media encryption
Notebook computers and removable media devices allow today's mobile workers to work freely anywhere. While enjoying this freedom, the risk of
data leakage due to device loss or theft also increases. Symantec Endpoint Encryption combines
full disk and removable media encryption and
centralized management to protect confidential
information and ensure compliance (including
BitLocker, FileVault 2, or self-encrypting devices
that comply with OPAL regulations).
Symantec uses a sector-by-sector encryption for
each drive to ensure that all files are encrypted,
providing the highest protection capabilities. In
addition to protecting laptops, desktop computers and Windows tablets, Endpoint Encryption also
supports a variety of removable media, including
USB drives, external hard drives, and CD/DVD/Blu-ray disc media. Even if encryption is not installed on the computer, Symantec allows removable media
users to access their data on any Windows or MAC system.
• Fully protect and support virtual machines and
native operating system encryption (for example:
BitLocker, FileVault 2, and self-encrypting devices
that comply with OPAL regulations)
• Support single sign-on, easy to use
• Provide support center staff with multiple recove ry options (including self-recovery and web conso
le)
• Flexible removable media support capabilities
Make the most of your resources with centralized encryption management
Regulatory compliance, data privacy considerations, and brand reputation are often powerful incentives for companies to adopt encryption technology. The challenge faced by enterprises is to protect their sensitive information with limited resources while ensuring compliance. Symantec Endpoint Encryption provides an integrated management platform that allows enterprises to:
• Quickly deploy and manage its endpoint encrypti
on solution through a single console
• With Symantec's multiple recovery options, it pro
vides its employees with a perfect combination
of self-service recovery functions and technical
support
Symantec Endpoint Encryption also provides extended management functions, which can support native operating system encryption (BitLocker and FileVault 2) and self-encrypting drives that comply with Opal specifications.
• Individual and group key management
• Automated policy control
• Immediately available, compliance-based reports
Improve security through Symantec Data Loss Prevention
In all data leakage, accidental exposure of data is
the main reason; confidential data is simply transmitted to unprotected devices due to user negligence. Symantec Endpoint Encryption integrates industry-leading Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions to help solve this problem.
Symantec DLP can scan information on laptops and desktop computers, and it can also flag confidential content and monitor employee online and offline activities. If an employee attempts to move confidential information to a removable device, DPL will record the activity. Employees will receive a customizable reminder that they are trying to move confidential files. Employees can choose to encrypt files before authorizing the transfer, allowing companies to actively prevent user negligence and ensure business continuity.
Projects integrated with Symantec Data Loss Prevention include:
• Removable media
• Gateway Email Encryption
• File Share Encryption
