THE RESULTS

With AlertBoot now fully deployed across the global landscape of Data Guard Systems, administrators, executives, and employees alike are all pleased with the results.

Laptop Security and Performance:
According to collected benchmarks, the AlertBoot disk encryption software "installed in seconds and encrypted [the entire computer] within 15 minutes." With a minimal drain on resources, AlertBoot runs silently in the background, encrypting and decrypting files on the fly.

Easy Deployment and Maintenance:
"Policy creation with AlertBoot was very easy," explained Maliyil. "We pulled user information from our Active Directory, distributed the install files, and then audited the encryption statuses of our devices in real-time." Because AlertBoot Central synchronizes with each and every device, updates and upgrades are seamlessly pushed out as needed.

Password Recovery:
With a fast-moving global workforce, Data Guard takes advantage of the 24/7 password recovery helpdesk offered by AlertBoot. Authorized users can recover access to their locked devices via a challenge-response system over the phone or the Internet.

Return on Investment (ROI) / Total Cost of Ownership (TCO):
With AlertBoot, Data Guard not only can deploy and monitor encryption installations remotely via the Internet, but they also have the ability to scale easily to address future security needs as their organization grows.


SUMMARY

With AlertBoot fully deployed, Data Guard Systems achieved its lofty goals of securing their existing device infrastructure as well as protecting all of the laptops, smart phones, and other devices used by their global employees in the field.

"We’re a mobile workforce, and AlertBoot makes sure our devices are protected," says Maliyil. "Even my own Windows Mobile® phone is encrypted with AlertBoot!"

AlertBoot's persistent encryption ensures that all mission-critical corporate data and sensitive customer information will remain protected — no matter where in the world you find a Data Guard employee.
