The AlertBoot Philosophy: Partner Specialist for Your Enterprise

Here's a Question to Ask Yourself — Does anyone in your organization know what it takes to secure a laptop?

We do. We're AlertBoot, a managed service provider that specializes in the delivery of disk encryption and security services to every device in your organization — no matter how big or small.

AlertBoot takes the powerful encryption suite from SafeBoot mobile data security and leverages that encryption technology in an easy-to-use, web-based service. With over 3 million active licenses worldwide, SafeBoot encryption technology is the most trusted data security.

AlertBoot can deliver a complete and highly-customizable data encryption solution to your organization over the Internet — efficiently, seamlessly, and with very minimal interruptions to your end-users.

On Demand Encryption and Endpoint Security

AlertBoot is "on demand" managed software. This means your organization never has to invest precious money, time, and IT resources into software, hardware, server installations, maintenance, or upgrades.

AlertBoot's "on demand" business model focuses on four core objectives:

Faster Deployment Times
Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
On Demand Auditing & Compliance Reporting
Superior Customer Service & Support

Faster Deployment Times:

Other mobile data encryption solutions require very active participation on the part of your staff. You know what your IT department will say — "Bring the laptops in. Hand in all USB keys. Wait a week while they’re encrypted."

Wildly inefficient, this type of deployment may take months...if not years to fully implement. Not to mention that the actions of trading devices back and forth with IT may actually present a potential data leakage issue in and of itself.

With AlertBoot, device encryption policies are created from a centralized, web-based management console and distributed via the Internet with minimal participation from your staff.

The data encryption install package is one of the smallest in the industry at around 3MB; the competition's install package starts at 16MB in size. This smaller size allows you to push out more encryption packages to your devices without clogging your bandwidth and disrupting your daily business.

AlertBoot's auditing reports display the disk encryption status of your device and laptop inventory in real-time.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO):

How much will it cost to encrypt and protect your data? It's more than just software! The hidden costs of "in house" solutions include your IT human and technical resources as well as any potential business downtime.

How long will your staff be unable to use their business tools? How much time will be spent configuring hardware? Updating software on your devices? Maintenance costs?

AlertBoot's management and reporting console is entirely web-based — no hardware to configure and no management software to install. The data encryption software package sent to your users has one of the smallest footprints in the industry, and the installation is painless.

Policy changes, updates, and upgrades are automatically synched up with devices in the field. The end result is a complete data encryption solution with the lowest possible TCO that maximizes your ROI with very visible results.

On Demand Auditing and Compliance Reporting:

AlertBoot offers a major feature that no other managed service for encryption can offer — real-time auditing and reporting.

Remember —Encryption is Encryption, regardless of the product.

Besides easy implementation and maintenance, what organizations really need is DOCUMENTED PROOF that a device or laptop was fully encrypted for compliance purposes.

AlertBoot provides targeted custom reporting that allows your organization to view device inventory in real time and see their encryption status as well as user logins on the devices.

Save time with AlertBoot's "on demand" paper trail for audits.

Superior Customer Service and Support:

AlertBoot is designed to provide organizations with the easiest possible installation and management of a full disk encryption solution. Convenience is key — and this includes customer service and support. With AlertBoot, your company has unprecedented access to a password recovery helpdesk, at no extra charge.

Only AlertBoot offers 24/7 password recovery to customers.

If you forget your password, access is just a phone call away. No matter what time it is, no matter where you are in the world, you can get in touch with someone in AlertBoot Support. Better yet, your computer doesn't need an Internet connection to regain access. Users simply go through a short authentication process. Upon successful completion, the password is reset. No more paging your own IT staff for help at 3:00 AM or waiting until the next day (or later) for your IT employee to actually get back to you with help.

AlertBoot Support is also available to help answer any questions an organization might have about any of the features of AlertBoot.
