Bangalore: Check Point Software Technologies releases Check Point Full Disk Encryption for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - a full-disk encryption solution with pre-boot authentication to support Mac operating systems. Check Point Full Disk Encryption enhances data security and supports more end-user platforms than any other solution in the market, from Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, and VMware based systems to Symbian, Windows Mobile, Palm based smartphones and PDAs.
Check Point Full Disk Encryption simplifies the deployment and management of endpoint security by automatically encrypting all hard drive contents, including the operating system and existing, temporary and erased system files. This new level of protection secures enterprises from unauthorized access to corporate information or network attacks, even if the hard drive is physically transferred to another computer. Now with support for Snow Leopard, Check Point enables customers to secure diverse operating systems, significantly improving the implementation and use of full-disk encryption in mixed environments. Check Point Full Disk Encryption also offers centralized deployment, management and logging capabilities to simplify policy administration, streamline compliance and reduce total cost of ownership. Check Point Full Disk Encryption for the Mac is available and can be purchased through the Check Point worldwide network of value-added resellers.
"With the increasing number of Macs in the enterprise, organizations are looking for first-class network, data and endpoint security for these systems. Check Point Full Disk Encryption provides a simple and complementary security solution that offers the same level of data protection throughout the organization, regardless of multiple and existing operating systems in place," said Bhaskar Bakthavatsalu, Regional Director, Check Point Software Technologies, India and SAARC.
The company claims that the Check Point Full Disk Encryption scales to any organization and is proven in major industry and government agency deployments around the world. "More than 85 percent of our employees use Mac OS X as their primary desktop and notebook platform," said Allen Hancock, President of the Mac Consulting Group.
