Remote Password Reset

A secure challenge-response procedure brings back the locked-down encrypted data and gets the user back to business in a matter of minutes.

Secure Content Delivery

SafeConsole enables files to be pushed out to remote SafeConsoleReady devices as soon as they are unlocked. All sensitive data is exchanged securely using two way certificate based SSL authentication making Publisher an ideal way of distributing sensitive materials to a remote workforce.

BackUp and Audit content

A lost drive or an inadvertently overwritten file would normally make you lose hours of work. In the event of a lost SafeConsoleReady device, an administrator can easily recreate the drive by sending its backup and settings to a new device.  Existing content can be recreated for auditing purposes.

Device Audit & File Audit Trail

Device auditing makes taking stock of the entire portfolio of SafeConsoleReady devices easy. The logs include unsuccessful unlocking attempts, device states and log-ins. This gives the administrator a full overview of all drives in use in the organization.

File Audit Trail is an extension of the Device Audit. It allows an administrator to see what files have been copied to or deleted from the devices, as well as a trail of the files that have had their names changed.

Device State Management

As an extra security precaution when drives are lost, or to protect your organization’s sensitive information from access by former employees, you can remotely ‘kill’ rogue drives and erase them of all data. In the Device Overview in SafeConsole, an authorized administrator can set the device state to ‘killed’, ‘disabled’ and ‘lost’.

Disabled devices can later be recovered with the Remote Password Reset-feature. Lost drives can be set to display a custom return-to-owner message. To lower support costs, lost drives are also automatically marked as ‘found’, if they are later inserted into the assigned user’s local machine. All actions are logged for audit purposes.

SafeConsole can also be set to handle the devices’ states entirely on autopilot. This will require the drives to return to base by connecting to the SafeConsole server within a configurable time period. Devices that have not returned are automatically regarded as ‘lost’. This means that an administrator can save time and costs associated with handling lost devices.

Password Policy

It is possible to configure multiple complex password policies within SafeConsole and assign them to different groups within the organization.

Write Protection

With Write Protection, users can set their drive in a read-only mode when unlocking it on non trusted machines and thereby gain protection from malware trying to infect the drive or its content. It is also possible for an administrator to enforce this protection when a user leaves the company network

Inactivity Lock

Preset (and override the users’ own settings for) the Inactivity Lock to lock down the secure USB drive after a configurable number of minutes. If a user forgets an unlocked drive in a computer, the drive will automatically lock down in accordance with the set policy.

File Restrictor

By taking a white-list approach to preventing storage of unauthorized file-types the FileRestrictor relieves the users from protecting their device. Rogue files can simply not reside on a SafeConsoleReady Device as it only allows storage of file-types specified by the administrator in the SafeConsole settings. The FileRestrictor complements the Authorized Autorun – the onboard autorun-protection that chokes self-copying viruses – by denying unauthorized autorun files from residing on the drive altogether.

Web Login

Combine two-factor authentication with a convenient shortcut for quick, easy and secure access to a web account. Web Log-in enables the administrator to connect a SafeConsoleReady device with a user’s web-based email account (or any other web log-in) and give direct access to the account through a shortcut displayed in the “Shortcuts” window.
