Encryption & Single sign on - Zone Central
Policy driven encryption for laptops, workstations,
servers and removable media.
ZoneCentral is the new-generation, simple-to-deploy corporate
security product offering automatic administration and transparent
use. This solution offers enhanced security by encrypting data and
restricting access to only identified and authorised users. Without
affecting your organisation, ZoneCentral protects your files and
folders in place. It also encrypts swap files and wipes temporary
files.
Main functions of ZoneCentral Encryption
- On-the-fly, in-place encryption
- Automatic swap file encryption
- Encrypted containers for sending attachments securely by e-mail
or for backups
- Can encrypt Internet browser caches (Intranet protection)
- Can encrypt user profiles (My Documents, Desktop, etc.)
On-the-fly encryption transparent in use
Users access their files as normal.
They handle their encrypted files in exactly the same way they
handle unencrypted files. They must simply enter an access key once
during their work session, enabling them to decrypt the encrypted
files they access.
This policy of transparency in
software designed specially to require the absolute minimum of user
interaction minimizes corporate training costs.
Permanent automatic protection
The data security plan is
defined by the company's security managers. ZoneCentral then
applies this security plan automatically and systematically without
any user interaction. Files are constantly encrypted (there is no
unencrypted copy at any time).
No need to change data organisation or
structure
Files are encrypted 'in place' on
workstations or data servers. ZoneCentral does not require any
changes in data organisation or structure.
Secure data sharing and network traffic
ZoneCentral encrypts and decrypts
files where they are used: in memory on the workstation. This means
data is carried in encrypted form when server files are accessed
via corporate networks or remotely.
In addition, if a user shares an
encrypted zone on their workstation only users with appropriate
access rights can read the files it contains.
User access keys
ZoneCentral secures encrypted zones
using authentication methods already found in corporate
environments: passwords, key files (.p12, .pfx), token smart cards
or USB devices by major manufacturers, CSP containers or other
systems.
ZoneCentral is therefore compatible
with most PKIs on the market (although it does not require
them).
Encrypted attachments and backups
Zed! is a standard integrated module
supplied with ZoneCentral, used to create encrypted compressed
containers to send attachments securely via email. Users can
exchange information securely with others, regardless of whether
they too use ZoneCentral or not. Containers can use shared
passwords or certificates.
Secure wiping of files
All files users or applications
delete are wiped. ZoneCentral also encrypts swap files.
ZoneCentral is the only product to
provide real-time wiping and swap encryption, countering major
potential security weaknesses.
Strong cryptographic security
The cryptographic engine runs
in the operating system's 'kernel' mode, providing enhanced global
protection and greatly reducing user exposure to spyware.
ZoneCentral also integrates a keyboard driver that secures code or
password input, preventing key-press capture by spyware.
Flexible, easy deployment
Installation of ZoneCentral on
workstations is compatible with centralised installation tools (SMS
etc.).
Security rules and settings
controlling fixed or mobile workstations, networked shared zones
and removable disks are defined by the Administrator using Windows
Security Policies. Windows applies these rules automatically and in
real time.
Zones are initially encrypted either
by users or by the security administrator, depending on the disk
type and chosen deployment method.
Data is encrypted even for system
administrators
In-place encryption means network
operation and administration is unaffected. System operators cannot
access the data content, making ZoneCentral an essential part of
any outsourcing project.
Even backups can be made in
encrypted form, ensuring long-term confidentiality of sensitive
information.
Operation and supervision
ZoneCentral generates events that
can be read by security administrators using the Windows Event
Viewer.
The list of events can be configured
and the events can also be sent to a server.
ZoneCentral provides security
managers with company specific recovery tools
enabling them to audit encrypted zones. They can also activate or
deactivate encryption of any zone in their system at any
time.
