SafeGuard Management Center highlights

  • New management API helps organizations to quickly and easily integrate the best-in-class information protection of SafeGuard Enterprise into their existing security infrastructure and automate periodic or cumbersome administrative tasks.
  • Web Helpdesk is a new Web application for helpdesk employees and has the same functions as the Recovery Wizard currently integrated in SafeGuard Enterprise. Access can be regulated via Web authentication methods and gives the helpdesk way of delegating or even outsourcing tasks flexibly with a company without giving full access to the Management Center.
  • The Web Self Help add-on now assists users to help themselves if they have forgotten their SafeGuard Enterprise password, thereby reducing helpdesk burden.
  • License Management can now be done by the SafeGuard Management Center. It tracks the number of installed client licenses of SafeGuard modules. If the license number is exceeded, further deployment of centrally defined security policies is blocked and ensures license compliance.

  • Management console is now multi-session and terminal server capable, enabling simultaneous remote access by several administrators.

This operating mode offers simplified policy creation and has only slightly reduced functionality, making it suitable for small and remote environments.

With both central and non-central management options available in SafeGuard Data Exchange, administrators can manage encryption in complex and diverse environments.
