Protiva Smart Guardian provides a complete, personalized data security solution that is easy for IT administrators to deploy and manage. It supports multiple operating systems and requires no drivers so deployment is quick and efficient. In case of multiple failed passphrase entries above a pre-determined threshold, the device will lock to protect against brute force attacks and unauthorized access to the encryption keys. It can then be unlocked using a PKI-based challenge –response process by authorized user or recovered by administrator.
