Utimaco Safeware is the largest public mobile encryption security firm in the world, offering a full portfolio of IT security products to protect enterprise data.

Utimaco is able to protect all data regardless of its location. Whether data is stored in a corporate network or on a mobile device, Utimaco has a proven data protection solution.

With more than 2.5 million licences on the market today, Utimaco meets the IT security needs of the majority of the world's government entities and the majority of Global 2000 companies.

Utimaco offers impenetrable data protection

Leading companies rely on Utimaco because its solutions are the most reliable in the industry. For example, the company safeguards data on PCs and laptops by encrypting 100% of the hard disk, and by enforcing a secured user authentication procedure that runs before the operating system boots.

Not only are unauthorised users unable to gain access to the data on a PC or portable data storage device, they are also unable to use the device as a tool to enter the company's network.

In fact, if a laptop or other mobile device does fall into the wrong hands, the data is securely protected-even if the hard disk is removed. Utimaco's solutions are so reliable that there has never been an incident in which data has been compromised due to a failure of one of its products.

Utimaco's products provide the following benefits:

* The company's solutions are fast, and are based on efficient, independently approved and publicly accepted algorithms that deter unauthorised access and hacker attacks.
* The company's full-disk encryption solutions secure all information stored on mobile devices and removable media. This superior level of protection ensures that customers maintain a level of compliance that exceeds the legal requirements of all applicable legislative initiatives. Organisations that utilise Utimaco's security products can ensure public confidence and protect community goodwill against the penalties and negative publicity.
* The company's solutions are easy to use and administer. Network administrators can centrally control enforceable, automated mobile security practices that ensure data is protected without requiring user intervention or training.
* The company's solutions are transparent. For example, Utimaco's SafeGuard Easy is the most robust security tool in the industry, yet is virtually invisible to end-users.
* Utimaco's flexible solutions deliver exceptional scalability that allows companies to secure all databases, from the most valuable server to individual laptops, desktops and other mobile devices. Utimaco also supports most major operating systems for PCs, PDAs, smart phones, and other mobile devices.
* All solutions are certified in accordance with leading industry certifications, including Common Criteria EAL3.
