The Check Point Full Disk Encryption application’s preboot launch protects the OS from all known attack methods. Only authorized users with the correct logon and password can gain access to the computer. If the machine is turned off or goes into standby mode, the entire hard drive remains encrypted protecting all the contents. These claims are further validated by the most and highest level of certifications in the industry, including FIPS 140-2, Common Criteria EAL 4, and BITS.

Light Architecture:

Check Point Full Disk Encryption offers a simplified security policy to minimize the effort of deploying a strong encryption solution. If you are more interested in granular control and configuration of users by leveraging transparent operation with enterprise class Active Directory, the Check Point Full Disk Encryption solution can accommodate this approach as well. Either option provides the same high level of data security without the need for heavy infrastructure. Many deployments of Check Point Full Disk Encryption are at rates in excess of 10,000 seats per month, serving as proof of this light architecture.

It can be hard to evaluate security needs, but it is easy to follow the lead of major corporations and industry analysts, which recognize Check Point solutions as the clear leaders in data security.

No Training Required:

Check Point Full Disk Encryption runs in a completely automatic, transparent mode to the user. Administrators do not have to change procedures or tie up their IT staffs with hours of training. Users just see a new login screen at boot up, and that’s it. No elaborate training, user interaction, or user failure points. Utilizing the WIL feature can even eliminate the login screen if this better suits the organization’s needs.
