To keep your data confidential on the go, DriveLock can encrypt data on removable media, such as USB flash drives, SD media and even CDs and DVDs you burn. There's no need to buy expensive, specialized flash drives to get this protection. DriveLock Encryption 2-Go works with all removable drives and media. It stores data in encrypted containers, which makes it possible to even encrypt data on internal or external hard disks. If you need to ensure that users don't accidentally or intentionally jeopardize data security, you can enforce the use of encryption for removable storage devices in your organization by using central policy settings. You can either enforce encryption for all removable drives or easily create exceptions for specific devices or users. If a user forgets an encryption password, authorized administrators or helpdesk personnel can gain access to an encrypted device or quickly generate a one-time recovery code. Users don't need to be connected to the network to re-gain access to their data using this recovery code. The recovery process is quick and the information that is exchanged gives users only access to one specific device, not to any other user's devices.
DriveLock Encryption 2-Go can use the following encryption algorithms:
The cipher strength used for all of these algorithms, except for Triple DES, is 256 bits. Organizations that require the use of FIPS 140-2 certified encryption can configure DriveLock to use FIPS 140-2 certified encryption libraries for all encryption operations.
Encrypted removable media and container files can even be used on computers where DriveLock is not installed. The included Mobile Encryption Application (MEA) makes it possible. MEA is a lightweight, standalone application that requires no installation. Once you provide the correct encryption password, MEA lets you use encrypted media and containers as if they were regular drives, including reading, writing and editing data. You can use MEA even without local administrative rights.
When you delete a file or folder in Windows, the data is not destroyed; only the file entry in the directory is removed. The data itself can be quickly recovered using one of many easily available tools. To ensure that nobody can access deleted confidential data, you need to use a tool that's up to the task. DriveLock lets you permanently delete the contents of files, folders, or even entire drives, by overwriting the actual file data multiple times with random data. The algorithm you select for this operation determines how the random data is generated and how many write passes are performed.
DriveLock lets you select from the following algorithms for securely deleting data:
