Product Information

Symantec PGP Portable is a software-based solution that provides organisations with convenience and security by securing data on any USB removable storage device or optical media, to securely distribute, share, use and collaborate without requiring users who access and modify this data to install additional software or have special administrative privileges. Data encrypted using Symantec PGP Portable stays encrypted. Once authenticated, data on read/write removable storage devices can be modified and saved in place securely, without requiring local file decryption or manual encryption steps allowing for easy, secure collaboration amongst users.

Symantec PGP Portable can be created on one of two targets:

• A locally mounted removable device, such as a USB flash drive, that is no larger than 128 GB

• A folder on a local drive, remote file share, or CD/DVD (including Blu-Ray)

• No additional software installation is required to access Symantec PGP Portable removable devices or media. However, to create Symantec PGP Portable devices, a licensed version of Symantec PGP client software version 9.9.1 or later for Windows, managed by a Symantec PGP Universal Server, must be installed on the system.

• Removable USB devices, such as a flash drive, that are larger than 4 GB must be formatted as NTFS. NTFS drives are treated as read-only when accessed on Mac OS X systems (unless a third-party program, such as NTFS-3G for Mac OS X, is used to enable read-write access). Symantec PGP Portable Disks created on removable USB devices that are smaller than 4 GB are formatted as FAT32.
