DriveLock File Protection

DriveLock File Protection enables you to encrypt files and directories independent of or beyond the control of privileged users. It contains:

• File encryption on local computers, central directories of a server, external USB data carriers or cloud-based services (e.g. Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive)

• AES-NI support (hardware-assisted fast encryption)

• Authentication when accessing encrypted directories with user name/password or via X.509-based certificates

• Integrated, fully functional public key infrastructure

A license is required to use File Protection.

DriveLock had already introduced a new encryption format with version 2022.2, which was applied to new DriveLock agents by default. The old format could be retained for existing agents. The DMC has a specific policy setting that allows you to automatically select which format is used or whether both formats are used simultaneously starting with version 2023.2. However, different encryption formats can be defined if required.
