Laptop Security Software

Laptop security typically impacts more than one user and one organization. The loss or disclosure of sensitive data (customer information and operational data) can result in damages including lost revenue, regulatory penalties and loss of brand reputation and goodwill. However, security must not get in the way of user productivity, rely on manual user intervention, or create unnecessary burdens on administrators.

Laptop security, and likewise desktop security, is most reliable when user intervention is not required.

Entrust laptop security solutions:

  • Mitigate risk of data disclosure by securing high value information stored on laptops
  • Aid regulatory compliance through automatic disk encryption
  • Enforce organizational policy, reducing reliance on user judgment or intervention
  • Enable user single sign on (SSO)
  • Provide central management capabilities for policy and data control

Using Strong Authentication for Desktop Security
Entrust Entelligence™ Security Provider is an enterprise-wide desktop security platform that enables organizations to protect desktop login, provide email security and protect data on desktops and networks using one single digital identity. The Security Provider delivers a digital ID (x.509 certificates and associated keys) to the native Windows security architecture (CryptoAPI) and automatically manages and protects this digital ID which is used to strongly authenticate users and add security, such as encryption and digital signatures, to desktop applications.

The Entrust Entelligence Security Provider is a thin-client–for rapid deployment–with broad application support. It demonstrates ease-of-use and simplified administration capabilities that have been the hallmark of Entrust solutions.

Entrust Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

Public key infrastructure or PKI refers to a system that provides certificate management for digital certificates. Digital certificates contain public key pairs that can be used for encryption, digital signature and authentication security. Entrust PKI security solutions help government agencies and corporations to secure their digital identities and information.

Specialized "passport PKI" is used by governments to verify and secure data stored on a chip imbedded in passports issued to citizens. Epassport PKI involves the use of PKI by governments to secure data stored on a chip imbedded in a passport. The government acts as a certification authority that issues the digital certificates used in an ePassport system.

Entrust is a trusted provider of network security solutions that include digital certificates, managed PKI certificates, two factor-authentication, ssl certificates, token authentication, smart card PKI and encryption software.
