This is Eddie. Eddie knows next to nothing about encryption. Encryption can protect the most sensitive data in Eddie’s organization and yours. On laptops, desktops, and the multiple storage devices that users plug into those PCs, like USB keys and external hard drives. Encryption protects the data by allowing only Eddie and maybe a few of his trusted coworkers to see the data.
These mobile endpoints are at the edge of your network, going anywhere around the world your employees go. To sales conferences, business meetings, or, in Eddie’s case, the 53rd Annual Sci-fi Convention in Las Vegas. This could expose your network to threats, either malicious, like thieves or cyber criminals, or accidental, like poor forgetful Eddie, who still has his rocket ship keychain, his Saturn pin, his laser gun and his rubber alien ears, but strangely can’t find his USB drive. Uh oh.
Today, every laptop with customer data, intellectual property, or competitive information should be protected with strong encryption. But let’s face it, encryption can be a pain. Hard to deploy, hard to manage. It slows down your computer or can break other software in your system. Also, regulation is heating up, requiring many organizations to protect their data. And in the case of a loss, be able to prove that protection was in place. But encryption doesn’t have to be difficult. With Dell Data Protection | Encryption, there’s no more tough, time-consuming deployment for IT, and there's no intervention or disruptive workflow for end users.
In fact, they may not even know their data is protected. So no more blaming IT when Eddie accidentally leaves his thumb drive in the hotel minibar. We have flexible policies to automatically enforce protection with comprehensive audit and reporting for all your users and devices, all from a single management console. Dell Data Protection | Encryption is a highly flexible solution that works the way you and your users want to work.

For your peace of mind and confidence, you can now prove that sensitive data was protected, even in the case of a lost or stolen laptop. Um, Eddie? Eddie. Psst ... Isn’t that your laptop? Oh, well, not to worry.
