DriveLock Application Launch Filter

You can now quickly and easily create a computer template containing all applications that are currently installed on a computer. Apply this template to allow the use of only these applications to protect against malicious software and unwanted applications. Application templates are most useful in organizations with standardized computer configurations.

When configuring application rules you now have access to an online database containing millions of signatures of both popular and less known programs. This database is constantly being expanded and updated. This database also vastly simplifies enforcing rules after applying updates or patches to your applications.

DriveLock Terminal Server Edition

DriveLock 5.5 introduced the ability to block the use of local drives on thin clients that are mapped in a terminal server session. Now you also get the same file filtering and auditing functionality for these drives that are available on other client computers. This lets you block access to specific file types, such as MP3 files or videos, and fully audit the transfer of files from and to USB drives attached to a thin client.

Full Disk Encryption

Preboot authentication has been completely revised to improve support for token authentication. Also the user interface has been redesigned to be more appealing. A new rapid recovery mechanism allows much quicker access to data on an encrypted disk that has become inaccessible because of technical defects. The Security Reporting Center displays additional information about the current encryption state and provides support for recovery operations.

DriveLock Encryption of removable drives

Password recovery for encrypted removable media, such as USB flash drives, and encrypted containers has been made easier and more flexible in DriveLock 5.5 R2. Helpdesk staff can now better help a user who forgot an encryption password, either online of offline, using a challenge/response mechanism. This password recovery doesn’t require the transmission or sharing of an administrative password.
