Local file encryption can be used to protect files stored on
computers. When a laptop is being used outside of a secure
location or a desktop terminal allows for multiple users,
sensitive information needs to stay secure. Even if a system is
lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised, the file is protected.
Simple File Encryption solutions are always needed for mobile
users. However, weak security that allows users to keep their
mobility is more detrimental by instilling a false sense of
security. Most mobile solutions are primarily password only,
which is inherently insecure. Some solutions offer the ability
to incorporate a token or smart card, but only at an additional
expense and added administration. Local file encryption also
needs to be intuitive and effortless, to ensure that user habits
allow them to easily encrypt items.
Authenex ASafe™ offers local
file encryption protected by two-factor authentication. With the
convenient Authenex A-Key® token,
files can be encrypted by a simple right-click method. The A-Key
is a house key size device that utilizes the USB port and uses
128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to protect your
files. The ASafe application also allows for Secure File
Exchange. |
