Wave Systems Corp. has announced the launch of Wave Encryption Service (WES), a scalable, yet powerful, subscription-based service for data protection. The new service enables organizations and businesses to centrally enforce strong data-encryption policies on laptops across their organizations to secure data and meet compliance regulations without the complexity and cost related to an on-premise solution.
WES offers a selection of client encryption solutions, such as folder-level software encryption and Microsoft Bitlocker. In addition, WES is the sole cloud-based service for managing Opal self-encrypting drives (SEDs), which offer security and performance benefits over other forms of encryption. WES’ easy-to-navigate console enables customers to set up alerts and run monthly reports on noteworthy events, such as the encryption status for specific computers by location.
The Wave Encryption Service also has the ability to eliminate the need to install or maintain third-party software and can be implemented securely in the Cloud. This makes it an attractive alternative for the cost-conscious small and medium enterprises.
Some of the WES features include:
- On-demand encryption management; simple point and click
- Automatic configuration of leading encryption technologies through a single Web interface:
- SEDs from all the leading storage vendors
- Microsoft BitLocker – Microsoft’s encryption application included in Windows 7.
- File and folder encryption
- Business ready with pre-configured compliance security policies
- Transparent to users
- Optimized for business with subscription-based payment options
