SecurStar, makers of DriveCrypt software, has released a significant upgrade to their existing Enterprise version.

SecurStar director of business development Michael McKinzie said they redesigned the architecture from the ground up with mid and large enterprises in mind.

SecurStar said its DriveCrypt Plus Pack (DCPP) Enterprise is fully compatible with Microsoft’s Windows 7, and provides full disk encryption (FDE) using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST FIPS PUB 197) approved algorithm, AES.

"We build our products based on well adopted security standards and meet the stringent requirements of government, law enforcement and private industry," McKinzie added.

According to SecurStar, DCPP Enterprise 3.0 will support remote users, branch offices, and traditional LAN based users and supports a variety of directory services including Active Directory, LDAP, and Novell Directory Services.

DCPP Enterprise will provide protection against data theft and loss. DCPP Enterprise 3.0 will also provide full disk encryption with centralized management, reporting and control.

SecurStar president and CEO Wilfried Hafner said their enterprise version is designed well with an easy to understand licensing model. There has been quite a bit of consolidation in the industry over the past year and customers are not certain what the future will hold.

"We are seeing better than expected growth which we attribute to it, and believe with the release of 3.0 it will only get better," Hafner concluded.
