DiskEncrypt – Reliable hard drive encryption for laptops with classified data processing

DiskEncrypt is Utimaco’s solution for all government clients and the secret security industry. It was developed in accordance with the requirements of the German BSI and specially developed for the sector-based, complete hard-disk encryption of laptops. This ensures that unauthorized access to (personal) data on the hard drive caused by theft or loss of the laptop and bypassing the Windows password is effectively prevented.

DiskEncrypt uses proven encryption algorithms for this purpose. This maximizes data security by encryption of all system files, including swap and temporary files, without affecting device performance.

The multi-user 2-factor authentication in the pre-boot authentication enables the shared use of laptops. The respective user passwords remain individual, and smart cards do not have to be shared among users. Based on the unchanged Windows operating system login process after the pre-boot authentication DiskEncrypt provides secure and convenient device usage for the users.

In addition to the complete encryption of the entire hard disk, DiskEncrypt also enables fast initial encryption.

DiskEncrypt is approved by the BSI for data with the classification RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED, NATO RESTRICTED and VS-NfD.
