protectdrive (PC Vault)

Description
 

protectdrive represents a unique approach to securing data on workstations and notebooks.

protectdrive combines full disk encryption with pre-operating system boot access control, both of which are necessary to genuinely secure a system and provide true data security.

protectdrive achieves this without storing any passwords or disk encryption keys on the disk. This provides the highest level of security achievable in software. Because protectdrive is implemented as a set of low level routines which are loaded before the operating system, it is very efficient, ensuring optimal performance regardless of the application or environment. Therefore, while protectdrive provides the highest standard of protection available, it does so with outstanding efficiency.
