Utimaco Adds Support for Windows Vista BitLocker Drive Encryption

Utimaco adds support for Windows Vista BitLocker Drive Encryption with Utimaco's security suite SafeGuard Enterprise. Windows BitLocker is a full volume encryption data-protection feature available in Windows Vista Enterprise and Ultimate editions. With SafeGuard Enterprise this new feature can be used in combination with other encryption methods while easily managed across heterogeneous platforms.

Within the framework of the SecureIT Alliance, Microsoft invited Utimaco and other security partners to work with the Windows Vista product team to advance the capabilities of Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption by offering centralized policy based management using SafeGuard Enterprise for a variety of encryption techniques across heterogeneous IT environments. Utimaco SafeGuard Enterprise on Windows Vista supports encryption of non boot media, such as additional hard disk partitions and various types of removable media. The encryption functionality of SafeGuard Enterprise eases administrative management by supporting Microsoft Active Directory and Group Policy to help enforce an enterprise wide data protection policy, including key management, key recovery requirements, and emergency procedures.

Other aspects of this strong partnership include joint marketing activities for the integrated solutions. The SafeGuard Enterprise Suite will be seen at Microsoft's "Contoso" presentation area at CeBIT 2007. Contoso is the fictitious midsize company created by Microsoft to show prospects their solutions in use. Daily business scenarios facilitate prospects in finding the right solution for their own company leveraging their productivity and efficiency as well as creating competitive advantages.
