WinMagic Inc., a data encryption firm, announced recently the availability of SecureDoc for Microsoft’s BitLocker, an intelligent key management and encryption solution that improves BitLocker management for firmer security, enhanced functionality and simple to use for both IT administrators and simple users.

Securing critical information across global enterprises and throughout the cloud has become an executive-level and regulatory business imperative. Effective encryption management is a cornerstone to ensure protection of global information and critical assets.

As a native feature included with select editions of Windows designed to protect data by providing 128-bit or 256-bit encryption, BitLocker becomes an enterprise-class encryption solution when combined with a separate enterprise key management system that is platform and end point agnostic and designed to ease deployment and operation. SecureDoc for BitLocker delivers the best of both worlds by combining the seamless encryption of BitLocker with WinMagic’s sophisticated and comprehensive enterprise key management.

“PC’s continue to dominate the enterprise market over other operating systems such as Linux and Mac, however, the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) environment is becoming more common and the days of “one OS serves all” are coming to an end for large enterprises,” Mark Hickman, COO of WinMagic, told businesswire.com. “Mobile Devices, tablets, and the Internet-of-Things have made it necessary for many organizations to integrate and utilize a variety of devices as a way to increase productivity and reduce costs. Securing these endpoints are adding complexities and costs calling for solutions like SecureDoc for BitLocker.”
