Desktop and Laptop Encryption

Every 12 seconds a PC is lost or stolen - most with confidential information. The SafeGuard (Utimaco) encryption software helps protect this information if a PC is stolen. The data is locked by the encryption so no one can read it without the key - your Personal Digital Identity (PDID).

With SafeGuard, all you need to do is log in to your computer with your PDID. After that your computers works like it did before encryption, but your data is protected.
