HDGUARD was developed for permanent PC protection and reduces maintenance costs and administration time to a minimum without restricting the functionality of the PC in any way. The HDGUARD is cost-effective security software for all application areas in which PCs need specific security because of constantly changing users. Because of that HDGUARD is suited for the safe use of PC systems in schools (and other educational institutions), Internet cafes, libraries and even for Internet PCs at the kiosk. Even office PCs, you can simply and effectively protect with HDGUARD and make it stable and secure.

• Disaster recovery by pressing the button:

          JUST REBOOT! 

• PC Protection without hardware
  

Most schools use hardware protection for their hard disk security. Such hardware protects exactly the same way like HDGUARD does. The most significant difference between the two solutions is, that the protection software is not on the hard disk but on the BIOS of the PCI card.

HDGUARD is a hard disk protection software containing USB access blocker. It allows for dynamically control USB access.

The USB blocker part of HDGUARD provides 3 protection modes to cut off abuse of USB ports effectively. Depending on the application area you can decide to use one of the following protective modes:

• Write protection for USB memory sticks ("flash drives")
• I/O blocker for USB memory sticks
• USB Lock Out (completely disable any kind of USB devices).
  

Windows retrieves updates at least once a month. Most virus scanners load their updates daily. In order to keep your HDGUARD protected system on an actual patch level, HDGUARD offers you the ability to set up update periods.

While Microsofts support for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 is expiring we would like to emphasize that HDGUARD only from version 6.1.1.5 is supporting Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP1 and 2.

If you are using an older version of HDGUARD 6 on the above mentioned systems, please download the latest version from our hompage.

In case you haven't got an HDGUARD 6 client or newer yet, we will be more than happy to create an individual quote for you.
