For users, the impact managing data at rest is virtually invisible. It works simply and it simply works, all the time.

But for IT, the impact is easy to see. IT and Help Desk personnel are freed from unnecessary operational restrictions. User complaints about data encryption software ruining their productivity disappear. Data security is now part of endpoint management and vice versa making it easier to cross train and manage day to day changes.

For example, IT administrators can:


• Seamlessly deploy and manage data protection and encryption enterprise-wide
  
  
• Mitigate potentially devastating data theft or misuse threats by managing security on contractor or “guest” laptops, mobile worker Smart Phones or media players, executive USB sticks and other PCs and endpoint devices
  
  
• establish and change encryption policies easily
  
  
• generate end user reports directly from the Altiris Notification Server Console
  
  
• quickly locate unprotected corporate computers and devices
  
  
• automate the deployment and provisioning of encryption through a single management console

The similarity in CREDANT and Symantec Altiris management approaches make it possible to effectively manage, secure and support all IT assets.

By working together, CREDANT and Altiris software also help promote effective service delivery and reduce operational costs. CMG’s flexible platform combines Policy-based Intelligent Encryption, enforcement, automatic device detection, authentication, auditing and reporting capabilities—all manageable using the Altiris Console, a Web browser-based console that controls the Altiris Notification Server.
