Description:

Black Whole is a data security utility for protecting private or sensitive data held on laptop PCs. The main threat to a company of losing a laptop is the cost of sensitive data falling into the wrong hands. Black Whole will withstand a prolonged and determined attack from a well-equipped hacker in a solution that is secure, usable and manageable.

In everyday use, Black Whole is transparent - once logged in, there is nothing for the user to remember. There are two lines of protection: a secure single sign-on, so only authorised users have access, and folder encryption. Files encrypted on the hard drive are decrypted on demand and on-the-fly for authorised users. The system manager selects how much or how little of the hard drive is to be encrypted in a one-off command incorporated into Windows Explorer or My Computer, and administration is through the standard Windows Control Panel.

There is also a suite of management tools suitable for managing Black Whole on a large population of laptops.

Features:

  1. Encrypting of hard drives and disk-based removable media. Files contained in Folders designated as encrypted are decrypted on-the-fly, on demand.
  2. Secure login that cannot be by-passed. Files, remain encrypted until opened by authorised users after successful login. Failed login attempts revealed on successful login.
  3. Incorporated seamlessly into Windows. Nothing for the normal user to learn. Operation completely transparent in everyday use.
  4. Multiple users. Each user has one of five levels of user rights, from full system administration to 'limited’ user who cannot read encrypted data.
  5. Easy installation and setup. Easy Management of users through the Control Panel, by System Manager user.
  6. Ability to specify files that are always encrypted and files that never get encrypted, no matter what their location.
  7. Secure recovery from forgotten password.
  8. Ring Fencing allows several PCs to be configured so that they can exchange encrypted data.
