February 27, 2006 - Dekart (www.dekart.com) has released version 2.07 of Dekart Private Disk, a powerful and flexible data protection program that includes Dekart's innovative Disk Firewall mechanism - a unique technology that makes your files as safe as they could possibly be.
Disk Firewall shields files from viruses and other malware even if your antivirus or antispyware program fails to protect the system. Now you can create a white-list of applications, only these programs will be allowed to access the contents of the encrypted drive. This feature protects your data from external threats, as well as internal ones: group leaders can be sure that employees are able to access sensitive information while doing their job, but they cannot copy it, or use third-party software to alter corporate data.
Private Disk extends the life of your USB flash disk, by applying caching mechanisms whenever the contents of the disk are processed. Your data are now truly portable, as you can encrypt your information on USB flash disks, CDs, DVDs etc. and work with the protected files on any computer without installing the software locally.
The reliability of the encrypted container is enhanced by the built-in backup option, which allows you to create compressed backups of the contents of the disk, and of the encryption key. This makes disaster recovery a simple process.
All the information protected by Dekart Private Disk is transparently encrypted with Dekart's NIST-certified implementation of AES 256-bit -the strongest encryption algorithm available today.
Private Disk's Features:
Password quality meter - an instrument that helps you determine how safe your files will be and eliminate risks by making sure that your password is strong enough to be immune to brute-force attacks.
Extra privacy - Private Disk automatically resets the time of last access of the encrypted disks, ensuring that nobody can find out what you've been doing.
Portability - encrypts data on literally any kind of media, as well as extends the life of flash drives, all types of flash memory cards, handhelds, and digital cameras. Large encryption capacity - up to 2GB disk size for Windows 95/98/ME and up to 4TB for Windows NT/2000/XP.
Application-level protection - in addition to putting data on encrypted partitions, the program can create application-specific protection that ensures that only trusted software can access the data.
Ease of use - Private Disk is designed for users with no knowledge in security, for busy people having no time to mess with encryption. The data can be secured immediately, without having to go through a complex learning process. Perfect for daily use. Drag'n'drop, as well as the integration with Windows explorer makes the encryption of proprietary information easy and seamless.
Scalability - suitable for protecting sensitive information in single-user environments as well as in large corporate networks.
Flexibility - automatic launch of specific applications once the disk is mounted; inactivity timeout; one-click disk dismount; command line support etc.
Dekart Private Disk's multi-license installation scheme makes it easier for the software to be installed and deployed in large multi-user distributed environments. The program is available in more than a dozen languages, the new version also provides a Dutch interface.
A free 30-day trial version is available for download.
