Dell has unveiled its new flexible, manageable and auditable endpoint encryption offering – Dell Data Protection | Encryption.
The new encryption tool is designed to help companies protect endpoint devices. The company said that such end point devices serve as the "front door" to sensitive information.
Dell Data Protection | Encryption is a file-based encryption tool that is designed to protect data on laptops and desktops, and external media, in case of loss or theft.
The company said that the tool includes centralised management and comprehensive reporting which would detect devices that need encryption, help the IT department to enforce policies and audit encryption state.
The reporting feature also provides confirmation that endpoints are protected regardless of user, device or location, said Dell.
Among the key features of Dell Data Protection | encryption are: easy deployment and integration into heterogeneous IT environments; quick recovery of systems; one offering to encrypt data on the disk, plus removable media such as USB thumb drives, external hard drives, eSata drives, 1394 devices, optical storage and Secure Digital (SD); and pre-set policy templates.
Dell Commercial Client Product Group vice-president and general manager Steve Lalla said, "Security threats are on the rise and we’re here to help customers have the power to do more by proactively protecting their data in a way that doesn’t hinder their IT processes."
"Dell Data Protection is designed to help protect your businesses’ vital data in an easy to deploy and cost-effective manner," Lalla said.
