Full hard drive encryption protects all data stored on a hard disk, including program files and Windows operating system.
File encryption on the other hand, enables users to protect vital data only. It relies on the user to decide what to secure, and to consistently follow set security procedures. Given this dependence on the user, many organizations find file encryption insufficient and unreliable. For example, if a PC is stolen, there is no reliable way of knowing or proving that the information was protected with file encryption.
The fact that a potential intruder also has access to the PC and can launch a hacking tool, significantly increases the risk for an information breach.
Unlike file encryption, which leaves security holes, Alertsec Xpress encrypts the entire disk sector by sector, including the system files, temporary and deleted files. Therefore no questions can be raised as to whether the information was adequately protected when auditing. To see for yourself, subscribe for your personal 30-day free trial of Alertsec Xpress.
