One of the most experienced innovators of encryption software for enterprise and government data security, Eracom Technologies pioneered hard drive encryption software as early as 1987. Eracom Technologies’ continual innovation and refinement of this technology ensures the ultimate line of defense against unauthorized disclosure of confidential information.

ProtectDrive is a Common Criteria (CC) EAL2 certified complete drive encryption solution that protects all data (including operating system files) stored on the hard drive of laptops, workstations or servers. It is commonly employed to protect against disclosure of sensitive information in the case of theft and accidental loss of the hardware device, or re-use after being sold or returned to the lessor.

Ultimate Security

ProtectDrive provides the ultimate level of security by encrypting and decrypting all data ‘on the fly’ using strong, industry proven encryption algorithms to protect confidential information residing on the hard disk against unauthorized disclosure.

Pre-boot authentication prevents unauthorized users from circumventing the operating system to access sensitive information.

Ultimate Usability

ProtectDrive is designed to deliver the ultimate level of usability to minimize and in many instances, eradicate application-training requirements. This facilitates deployment by enabling rapid user adoption across the organization.

ProtectDrive encrypts/decrypts all data automatically and transparently without any additional interaction by the user, aside from the identity authentication process during device pre-boot start-up.

Ultimate Manageability

The architecture of ProtectDrive is specifically designed to deliver the ultimate level of administrative management throughout organizations of all sizes.

Key management in ProtectDrive integrates seamlessly with the Windows™ user management system and Active Directory to allow seamless management of security policies. Combined, this allows administrators to deploy ProtectDrive in large-scale organizations without the need to introduce and learn new user management systems.
Valid local or domain users are automatically integrated into ProtectDrive’s pre-boot environment regardless of whether they use password authentication or Microsoft’s smart card/token based login with certificates.

ProtectDrive’s focus on easy administration is further highlighted in its network installation facilities.

Interruptible background encryption and automatic reboot facilities allow remote installation of software with automatic pre-boot authentication.
Simple and automated rollout support incorporating pre-definable security policies allow quick and low-cost deployments, even in very large environments.
