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.
