Features and Benefits

Alertsec Xpress secures desktop and laptop computers from unauthorized physical access, using both boot protection and full disk encryption.

Alertsec Xpress provides the following security functions:

• Strong user authentication.
• Control of user access per partition/volume.
• Secure Remote Help for users who are have forgotten their passwords.
• Central configuration and administration handled by Alertsec.
• Keyboard lock and screensaver for Windows-based computers.
• Limited number of failed logon attempts with automatic locking.
• Audit logging of events, i.e. successful and failed logon attempts.

With Alertsec Xpress, all logical partitions/volumes are boot protected and encrypted. The careful integration of boot protection and automatic encryption provides a high degree of security with minimal impact on users.

Boot protection prevents subversion of the operating system or the introduction of rogue programs while sector by sector encryption makes it impossible to copy individual files for brute-force attacks.

Full disk encryption secures the data even if the disk is removed and loaded into a controlled machine. This ensures security by enabling an organization to determine the security level instead of leaving it up to individual users to see that the information is encrypted.
