SafeGuard PrivateCrypto
Effective security on mobile devices,
PCs and for E-Mails
As anyone responsible for data security already knows, most company data is either not stored securely
or is emailed as plain text. Campaigns to secure internal and external communications by using Public Key
infrastructures (PKIs) have so far failed to provide a comprehensive solution.
SafeGuard PrivateCrypto can close these security loopholes. It provides encryption that is
both easy to integrate and to use. It can protect valuable, confidential data on PDAs, Notebooks and PCs
and ensure that it is sent securely by email
SafeGuard PrivateCrypto integrates seamlessly in Microsoft Windows
Explorer and standard email applications such as Lotus Notes and Microsoft Outlook. No need for expensive
upgrades to the existing IT infrastructure! SafeGuard PrivateCrypto's easily-understood functionality means
users do not need any additional training. Users can encrypt and save the files they want simply by
clicking their right-hand mouse button to activate SafeGuard PrivateCrypto in the context menu.
SafeGuard PrivateCrypto offers maximum flexibility in today's
complex IT environments. It can be implemented on all standard mobile device platforms, saving files
securely on PDAs, Notebooks and desktop PCs. In addition, users can easily exchange encrypted data by
email without the recipient having SafeGuard PrivateCrypto installed on his device. Because the files
are self-extracting the recipient does not need special software. All the communication partners require
for the secure email traffic is the password which they use to encrypt or decrypt the file.
SafeGuard PrivateCrypto has two other exclusive functions that
make it even more user-friendly and ensure data remains confidential: an easy-to-use password logging
provides a handy way to solve the problem of forgotten passwords, and the "secure wipe" function
guarantees that original files are removed completely from the storage medium.
