McAfee antivirus is the best security software that is specifically designed to provide comprehensive protection against viruses and other malware programs. It comes with McAfee Driver Encryption software is installed on the client system. After installation is completed and depending on the Drive Encryption policy assigned to the client system, the client system starts to activate Drive Encryption. In this guide, we will discuss the McAfee Drive Encryption and its working process.
How does McAfee Drive Encryption Work?
The solution is used for Trinity-owned PC laptops is McAfee Drive Encryption (MDE). It fully encrypts the whole hard disk and all data including the operating system. As part of the installation, a ‘recovery key’ is created. This ‘recovery key’ is used for decrypting the laptop in the case of maintenance on the laptop or expiry of the account. The ‘recovery key’ is stored on a safe and secure Trinity server and can be only accessed by IT Services staff.
This complete encryption of the hard disk offers the best possible security should the laptop be stolen or lost, provided the user has not physically written down their password and username and left them somewhere that would allow them to be stolen or lost with the laptop. In the eventuality of theft, an audit record exists which confirms that entire software and data on the laptop has been encrypted. Make sure that this service doesn’t back up your data. All users are still responsible to back up the data on the PCs they use.
Encryption starts only on successful activation. While the activation process, the system synchronizes with the McAfee and acquires user data, Pre-Boot theme, token data. Pre-Boot Authentication doesn’t appear if the system is restarted while the activation procedure.
Drive Encryption takes control of the disk only after the activation procedure is successfully finished. It then starts for enforcing the encryption policy. After successful activation and system reboot, the user authenticates and logs on via the Pre-Boot environment, which after that loads the operating system.
McAfee Drive Encryption is managed via McAfee ePO by using a combination of user-based policies and product settings policies. The McAfee ePO console makes you able to enforce policies around groups of PCs or on a single PC. Any new policy enforcement via McAfee and you can know more by calling on McAfee Support Number UK for instant and reliable support.
The Drive Encryption extension installed in McAfee ePO defines the encryption algorithm for the client system. The Drive Encryption software program packages checked in to McAfee defines the genuine Drive Encryption software which is installed on the client system.
The Drive Encryption administration system is known as Drive Encryption Admin defines the generic Drive Encryption settings for the product settings policies, local domain user settings, user-based policies, and user server settings.
Drive Encryption actually acquires the users via the Microsoft Active Directory or via the McAfee ePO user Directory. You must have a registered LDAP serve or have installed User Directory to use Policy Assignment Rules to enable dynamically assigned permission sets and for enabling manual and automatic user account creation.
