How do you prevent them? DriveLock’s hard disk encryption meets the legal requirements of the GDPR for personal data and follows acknowledged data encryption recommendations. All advantages at a glance:
DriveLock File ProtectionThe encryption of the entire storage medium is not always sensible or technically possible. Nevertheless, particularly sensitive company data (personnel or works council data or similar) must be protected against unauthorised access, e.g. by privileged users such as administrators. DriveLock’s File and directory encryption allow privileged users to encrypt files & directories – ideal for project teams, works councils and management. All advantages at a glance:
DriveLock Encryption 2-GoThe exchange of data is still often done with the help of mobile data carriers such as USB sticks. Especially here the risk of data loss is high, be it through accidental loss or theft. Data can be copied within seconds without the person concerned noticing. The Encryption 2-Go module encrypts data on external drives and data media securely and, if desired, transparently for the end-user. At the same time, you meet the legal requirements and effectively implement the measures to protect external media. All advantages at a glance:
Technical Details About These ModulesDriveLock DIsk Protection
DriveLock PBA (Included with DiskProtection) Pre-Boot Authentication (DriveLock PBA) enables a secure, trustworthy start of the computer (Secure Boot) and ensures that the confidentiality of the stored data is maintained in case of loss or theft of the laptop or desktop. DriveLock PBA offers the following advantages: What type of encryption methods does BitLocker use?BitLocker uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as its encryption algorithm with configurable key lengths of 128 bits or 256 bits. The default encryption setting is AES-128, but the options are configurable by using Group Policy.
How BitLocker protects my data?BitLocker helps mitigate the unauthorized data access on lost or stolen computers by: Encrypting all user files and system files on the operating system drive. Assuring accessibility to data only if the computer's components appear unaltered and the encrypted disk is located in the original computer.
Should I use 128 or 256 AES?Our best guidance is that AES-128 provides more than adequate security while being faster and more resource-efficient but readers who want that extra security provided by greater key sizes and more rounds in the algorithm should choose AES-256.
Which option prevents the offline attacks in BitLocker?Trusted Platform Module
BitLocker binds encryption keys with the TPM to ensure that a computer hasn't been tampered with while the system was offline.
