User-transparent Data Protection
GuardianEdge Hard Disk operates in the background and applies data protection in a manner that is completely transparent, encrypting and decrypting data in real time without any user interaction. No special user training is required, and features such as support for Single Sign-On (SSO) help ensure that users never have to change the way they work. The hard disk encryption software also supports computers with multiple users and even multiple client administrators, delivering added flexibility for shared workstations.
Access control for the Windows operating system
This data security software also protects the integrity of the operating system with an advanced pre-boot authentication mechanism. When users turn on a computer that has GuardianEdge Hard Disk installed, they must authenticate themselves with a login and password before Windows loads into memory. The software also supports the use of smart cards and cryptographic tokens, enabling enterprises to further strengthen their access control measures with multifactor authentication.

Mobile computing and the portability of data have changed the paradigm for information security management. Information that was once stored exclusively on mainframes and storage servers, is now frequently stored outside the corporate perimeter as hard disk data on laptop computers, which are highly susceptible to theft or loss.
