Check Point data now supports Vista.

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. recently announced that Pointsec PC 6.2, a full-disk encryption solution for laptops and desktop PCs, is now available to protect enterprise computers running the Windows Vista operating system.

Offered as a seamless upgrade for existing enterprise customers considering a move to the Vista platform, Pointsec PC 6.2 also includes data protection support for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Microsoft Server 2003 and popular Tablet platforms. Pointsec PC also works easily with Linux-based systems, and operates transparently to the end user regardless of platform. It offers strong authentication and boot protection options with fixed or dynamic passwords or second factor support of all major tokens and smartcards. "With over 158 million personal records compromised due to data breaches since early 2005, full-disk encryption is a must-have component in the overall security architecture," said Check Point. "Only full-disk encryption solutions protect all the data, not just the operating system in the boot partition."
