Overview:

Encryption Management Server provides organizations with a single console to manage multiple Symantec encryption solutions. IT organizations can manage users, automate administrative activities and establish policies to defend sensitive data and avoid the financial loss, legal ramifications, and brand damage from a data breach.

The Growing Difficulties of Managing Multiple Encryption Solutions

Many organizations have approached encryption tactically, employing various point solutions as needs arose. Unfortunately, deploying point solutions to protect disks, email, and files often involves deploying and managing multiple management consoles. This piecemeal approach increases the complexity and administrative work load of ensuring correct policy enforcement and deployment in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Encryption Management Server manages and automates security policies across Symantec's encryption solutions to defend sensitive data and avoid potential financial losses, legal ramifications, and brand damage resulting from a data breach.

Reduce Costs and Complexities

Reduce Costs and Complexities image

  • Unified Administration Console – Eliminate the cost of maintaining multiple encryption consoles and minimize the risk of inconsistent security policies.
  • Symantec Protection Center - Integrate for multiple security product administration and reporting.
  • Logging, Monitoring, & Reporting – Reduce the time needed to audit activities around multiple encryption solutions.
  • Enterprise Integration – Fine tune policy assignment using optional enterprise directory integration, PKI, or organizational system management tools.

Automate Deployments and Ongoing Management

Encryption Management Server automates deployments, provisioning, key management, and policy enforcement for Symantec's encryption solutions, reducing administrator workloads and ensuring consistent security policy across the organization.

Administrators can establish, enforce, and update security policies in real-time across multiple integrated encryption solutions from a simple, web-based management console. Additionally, they can fine tune encryption policy assignment using optional enterprise directory integration.

Build for Tomorrow while Satisfying the Security Needs of Today

Encryption Management Server allows organizations to approach encryption both tactically and strategically. By utilizing the centralized management capabilities of Encryption Management Server, administrators can build their encryption framework gradually while maintaining control and order as the organization grows.

To increase ease of use, additional encryption functionality is built into the console, allowing administrators to quickly add and deploy tools as needed using simple license authorizations to unlock new capabilities, versus having to install new software onto client machines.

Key Features
