Top Five Considerations for Removable Media Security

With CREDANT Enterprise Edition, organizations can address their endpoint data security and compliance needs in an effective, efficient and transparent manner.

Integrated Components for a Comprehensive, Easy-to-Deploy Data Protection

CREDANT Enterprise Edition data security solutions are based on an integrated set of components to allow for streamlined deployment. This enables organizations to develop flexible, tightly integrated solutions for data protection based on their specific needs.

CREDANT Enterprise Server integrates with enterprise directories to provide a central, web-based interface for security policy definition and management. The interface supports real-time mobile device inventory, and continuous reporting of mobile device security status for data protection policy compliance. At-a-glance encryption status reports are backed by charts showing end-point “check-in” and encryption trends.

CREDANT Shield resides on mobile devices and external media to enforce mobile security policies even if the device is disconnected from the network. It enforces strong authentication, policy-based encryption, and device / end-user controls. Enhanced features include greater encryption transparency and increased flexibility for administrators implementing corporate security policies.

CREDANT Shield is available in a StandAlone Edition for Windows® version that supports devices in disconnected or non-domain environments and in an External Media Edition for Windows version when encryption of a local drive is not needed.

CREDANT Policy Proxy resides on the corporate network or DMZ to provide secure distribution of policies and policy updates from the CREDANT Enterprise Server to the CREDANT Shield. It also collects device inventory and reports back to the CREDANT Server for auditing and reporting.

CREDANT Local Gatekeeper resides on desktops and notebooks to automatically detect, protect and control locally synchronized mobile devices. It provides secure, distributed communications between CREDANT Shield and CREDANT Enterprise Server for transparent delivery and management of policy and software updates.

CREDANT OTA Sync Control (optional) enhances Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync to control which handhelds (includes iPhone, Symbian, Palm OS and Windows Mobile devices) can sync email, contacts, and so forth.
