Compliance around Endpoint Security
Smart Guardian offers FIPS 140-2 level 3 certification for encryption thus assuring maximum security for mobile data based on a standard set by the National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST).
Data protection with smart card technology
The tamper-proof smart card module inside the Smart Guardian contains a high-performance microcontroller that generates cryptographic keys used to encrypt and decrypt data. The 256-bit AES encryption key, the most secure block cipher encryption standard adopted to date, is secured by the tamper-proof smart card, preventing brute force attacks against the device.
Its foundation on smart card technology makes Protiva Smart Guardian far superior to password-protected USB flash drives that are relatively common but significantly less secure. The security features of the smart card module and lock-down mechanism that blocks access to the device when a set number of incorrect passphrase attempts is exceeded, together protect against hardware and software-based attacks.
Increasing productivity without compromising security
Always-on 100% transparent data encryption takes the burden off from employees for meeting security policies. Smart Guardian uses fast single-level cell (SLC) memory that offers read and write speeds exceeding 20 Mbps.
Enforce mobile data security policies
Smart Guardian works with endpoint security products from Microsoft®, PGP® and other vendors to provide a comprehensive solution for data loss prevention. It enables highly personalized control of all data stored and accessed on USB drives throughout the enterprise network.
