Becrypt

All organisations, whether in the public or private sector face the challenge of protecting valuable corporate and personal data. Indeed they are required to protect personal data by law, under the Data Protection Act and even the Human Rights Act.

 

Becrypt provides several market leading data security solutions and data protection solutions that have been designed to provide comprehensive, enterprise class, protection for desktops, laptops, PDAs, USB sticks, mobile devices and removable media.

 

Some of the most secure organisations in the world rely on Becrypt data protection for a number of data security and data protection development projects including the UK Government and Ministry of Defence.

Mobile working environment provides secured remote access
BeCrypt Trusted Client allows a user to securely access his or her organisation's network from any computer in any location. Trusted Client provides a cost effective and secure method for ensuring Business Continuity, and may be used to provide flexible access for occasional remote working where the cost of dedicated laptops is inappropriate. Additionally, Trusted Client permits flexible, secure data sharing using off-the-shelf USB devices.

A revolutionary solution
Trusted Client is a bootable trusted environment that can be run on any unmanaged, untrusted platform. The Trusted Client environment, consisting of a lightweight Operating System, a web browser, and optional additional components (such as an SSL VPN, thin client applications, an email client), is written onto a USB flash drive. The USB device is protected by AES encryption and by strong user authentication, and may safely be carried by any authorised user.

  • Trusted Client is a bootable trusted environment that resides on a USB flash drive.
  • Trusted Client devices are encrypted to ensure the integrity of the operating system, and password-protected to prevent unauthorised access.
  • When inserted into an unmanaged computer, Trusted Client launches a self-contained environment, entirely separate from its temporary host's operating system or hard drive, and leaves nothing behind when the session ends.
  • The trusted environment typically provides a simple user interface, a web browser, and optional extra functionality, including thin-clients, email access, and stand-alone applications.
  • When used with a third party VPN, such as Juniper or AEP, Trusted Client provides secure thin client functionality that may be used to remotely access enterprise applications.
  • Configurable security features prevent accidental or deliberate misuse of the Trusted Client device by the authorised user.
  • All data saved to a Trusted Client device is automatically encrypted.
  • Trusted Client devices may optionally be centrally managed, providing an audit trail, and allowing the remote decommissioning of devices.

Assured full disk encryption solution for desktops and laptops
DISK Protect gives complete peace of mind that data held on laptops and PCs is fully protected in the event of loss or theft. The hard drive is transparently encrypted, with no impact on performance. Using strong user authentication, unauthorised access is prevented. Even when the PC is disposed of, and specialist recovery tools are used, the data remains safe. DISK Protect has been Becrypt DISK Protect engineered so that it is easy to deploy and manage, while users will detect no difference in the performance of their PC.

  • Provides full encryption with no disruption to working practices.
  • DISK Protect can encrypt data on removable media such as, Firewire, USB devices, SD cards, other mass storage devices and local disks.
  • DISK Protect is easy to deploy and manage. When combined with Becrypt Enterprise Manager, DISK Protect can be deployed throughout an organisation with little or no disruption to business activities.
  • The package can be deployed to thousands of users in the organisation quickly; laptops and PCs can be secured within hours.

End point security solution for controlling Removeable Media
Connect Protect is Becrypt's end point control solution that protects organisations against data leakage, by preventing unauthorised access to, and use of, external devices and providing centrally managed audit trails for all connection events.

  • Controls the use of all "plug and play" devices, USB sticks and other removable media, enabling an organisation to enforce a usage policy.
  • Prevents unauthorised devices from connecting to the network, or can restrict their use to approved devices only.
  • Provides a full audit trail to track device usage and highlight denied and authorised connections.
  • Allows the signing of removable media, allowing an administrator to sign any removable media device, and prevent access to media that has not been signed.

Comprehensive assurance for end-point and infrastructure
A straightforward standards-based approach to security management allows organisations to define security policies that can be efficiently enforced to mitigate and manage risks to data and networks, and minimise the costs of associated regulatory compliance.

  • Scalability ensures that BeCrypt Enterprise can be integrated with existing management tools and enterprise infrastructures, or be adapted for the stand-alone light-weight management of small business environments.
  • Encryption and end-point control manages solutions that ensure data confidentiality through disk and device encryption, and allow comprehensive end-point control for policy enforcement and compliance.
  • Remote access set extends to support secure business continuity and flexible remote access from both corporate as well as un-managed machines. This range of functionality is all managed and monitored through a centralised console.
  • Integration through a set of configurable tools that can integrate with existing directory services, for the real-time management of users and devices. Security related events are centrally displayed via a console, or may be made available to existing third-party tools.

Utility Desktop Computing

Computers are now as much a part of modern business as the electricity required to run them, yet they are treated, more often than not, in completely different ways. Computing as a ‘Utility’ is not a new concept and has been slow to establish itself, however, many organisations are increasingly recognising the benefits of commoditised IT. More >
