Features: Transparent USB Encryption

To ensure that data legitimately copied onto a USB flash drive doesn't end up in the wrong hands, DeviceWall offers the option to automatically encrypt all files as they are transferred from the PC. The encryption process is transparent to end users and has no negative effects on employee productivity.

Using a choice of industry-standard 256-bit AES and Blowfish encryption ciphers, DeviceWall can transform any USB flash drive into a secure means of transporting sensitive company and customer information.

Encryption

A simple applet on the user’s PC allows authorized staff to create encrypted devices and set personal passwords.

Further flexibility is provided by DeviceWall’s ability to apply either a global or personal key to the encrypted data – which determines whether the data can be read by any company-owned PC carrying the organization’s unique keycode, or whether the user will need an additional password to retrieve files.

DeviceWall-encrypted disks cannot be accessed by PCs outside the organization – preventing files from being accessed on non-authorized systems or networks.

Encryption Considerations

DeviceWall’s 256-bit data encryption is super-secure. So secure, in fact, that if you lose your key, you won’t be able to retrieve any data from the USB flash drive. Ever.

Likewise, reformatting a device will delete any data already resident on it.

As such, Centennial Software strongly recommends that encrypted USB flash drives are ONLY used to transport COPIES of files between locations or PCs. An encrypted USB flash drive must never be the sole means of data back-up or be used to hold the only copy of sensitive files.
