Alertsec Xpress is a web-based service powered by Pointsec, a global leader in encryption for laptops. Since the laptop market is rapidly growing and laptops became the choice of many enterprises’ employees, there is a clear risk of compromising the data stored on such laptops.
Let’s think of a very possible scenario: Dan, chief engineer in a multinational research and development company, travels with his business laptop. He then forgets it (Or was it stolen? Dan cannot remember.) in the airport. The laptop contained very sensitive information about Dan’s employer, along with documentation on the latest patents he was working on and business deals. This kind of event would ruin anyone’s peace of mind: what if the thief (or the finder) will find a way to access the information on Dan’s hard disk and serve it to the competition?
Encryption, through a Data Encryption Software is the only way to fully protect the information on a PC. With everything that is stored on the hard disk being safely encrypted, it cannot be compromised. Alertec Xpress offers an incredibly easy way to encrypt all data stored on a hard disk, through a web-based service subscription.
We were particularly impressed by the credentials of the software behind the Alertec Xpress service: Pointsec technologies are used by over 4 millions users worldwide, and can be equally suitable to the single, sole trader as well as to the large multinationals. The Alertsec website is very rich in content available to non-subscribers, and explains the service very well. The service is well supported, with a 24/7 helpdesk available by email and phone. A free trial is also available, even though prices starts from only $13/month.
Grade: 5/5 |
