Product Information

Symantec PGP Desktop Storage provides flexible, multilayered encryption using Symantec PGP Whole Disk Encryption to protect confidential files stored on local desktop or laptop systems and using Symantec PGP NetShare to securely share files with selected colleagues. This approach ensures that only authorised users can access sensitive data, fulfilling partner and regulatory requirements for information partitioning and security.

As a PGP Encryption Platform-enabled application, Symantec PGP Desktop Storage can be used with Symantec PGP Universal Server to manage existing policies, users, keys, and configurations, expediting deployment and policy enforcement. Symantec PGP Desktop Storage can also be used in combination with other Symantec PGP encryption applications to provide multiple layers of security.

• Easy, automatic operation - protects files and disks without changing the user experience.

• Enforced security policies - automatically enforce data protection with centrally managed policies.

• Accelerated deployment - achieves disk and network encryption using the existing infrastructure.

• Reduced operation costs - result from centrally automating encryption policies.
