Product Description

Novell ZENworks 11 SP4 Full Disk Encryption protects the data on laptops and desktops when they are powered-off. To provide this protection, ZENworks Full Disk Encryption employs both disk encryption and pre-boot authentication. The result is encrypted data that is unreadable until the user successfully provides pre-boot authentication and logs in to Windows.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Deployment
    Push-button deployment pushes encryption software onto the device—no need to manually install encryption onto a device.
  • Encryption
    Assign the software-based algorithms you trust (AES 265, Triple DES, or Blowfish) and define what gets encrypted—specific volumes, or everything on a given device.
  • Standard and Self-Encrypting Disk Support
    Provide software encryption for standard IDE and SATA hard disks and support hardware encryption of self-encrypting hard disks. In both cases, enable pre-boot authentication to increase security.
  • Pre-Boot Authentication
    Choose one of two authentication methods: user/password or smart card.
  • Authentication Lockout
    Designate intruder lock-out policies from the start—and change them as needed.
  • Authentication Override
    Override pre-boot authentication through a challenge-response sequence.
  • Decommission
    Decommission encryption temporarily or permanently:
    • Temporary decommission. When users leave your employ, you keep their devices for later use. Temporary decommission allows you to remove the preboot authentication from those devices until they are ready to be used again. During this time, the encrypted data is inaccessible. IT can reactivate the preboot authentication process, with new credentials, for the new user.
    • Permanent decommission. When you're scrapping a machine, all traces of data can be securely and completely wiped from the device, making the data unrecoverable.
  • Emergency Recovery
    If a hard drive is damaged or won't boot, IT can physically pull data off of the disk, using a stored key encrypted with a random password. Hackers are locked out, but IT is not. No other encryption solution allows for emergency data recovery—typically the data is simply lost along with the device.

System Requirements

For ZENworks 11 SP4 system requirements, see ZENworks 11 SP4 System Requirements.

For ZENworks 11 SP4 Full Disk Encryption requirements for standard hard disks, see Standard Hard Disk Requirements.

For ZENworks 11 SP4 Full Disk Encryption support for self-encrypting hard disks, see Self-Encrypting Hard Disk Support.

Installation

For installation instructions, see the the ZENworks 11 SP4 documentation website.

When you install ZENworks 11 SP4, all products (Endpoint Security Management, Asset Management, Configuration Management, Full Disk Encryption, and Patch Management) are installed.

Asset Management, Configuration Management, and Patch Management are automatically activated in evalution mode. Endpoint Security and Full Disk Encryption are not automatically activated in evaluation mode. You must activate the evaluation for these two products.

The evaluation mode lasts 60 days, after which you must either discontinue the use of the product or provide a valid license code. No reinstallation of the software is required when you move from an evaluation license to a full license. For information about enabling evaluations and managing product licenses, see the ZENworks 11 SP4 Product Licensing Reference.
