Utimaco Intros Product

OBERURSEL, Germany -- Utimaco The Data Security Company, today announced the release of SafeGuard Enterprise 5.2. The new version includes two new product modules and numerous enhancements that strengthen the company’s leadership position in the mobile data protection market as stated in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant of Mobile Data Protection 2007. The expanded data security suite for 360-degree data protection targets mid-sized to large corporations needing to store and process data across multiple platforms and secure corporate confidential information whether at rest, in motion or in use.

Secure data exchange via removable media without installed encryption software

SafeGuard Enterprise 5.2 comfortably secures the exchange of data with external partners and customers providing constant encryption and protection across the widest variety of removable media. The new SafeGuard Data Exchange module transparently encrypts all types of removable media allowing password protected access even on computers where no SafeGuard software has been installed. Integrated into the SafeGuard Management Center and the unique SafeGuard key management, companies can for the first time ensure permanent and compliant access to all encrypted removable media within their enterprise.

Its fully automated, user-transparent operation ensures no impact on employee productivity. Simply drag and drop files into the media and they are automatically encrypted. Furthermore, the new module offers flexible workflow options by allowing users to store both encrypted and plain text files on the same media. If SafeGuard Data Exchange is not installed, the encrypted data can be accessed by a password protected stand-alone application. Users can now define and exchange their own keys or passwords for removable media, or for the encrypted files stored on those media. The unique key-ring feature enables secure data sharing between members of a project team, across the company or even with external partners.
