Endpoint data protection solutions provider Credant Technologies has been tabbed by Dell to supply encryption and data protection for its commercial client systems. Credant has been providing encryption and data protection through Dell’s S&P organization since 2009.
Dell customers may select the Credant Mobile Guardian Dell Edition security encryption solution factory installed on Dell Precision workstations, Latitude laptops and OptiPlex desktops. They may also select other Credant solutions through Dell’s Software and Peripheral (S&P) store with commercial laptop and desktop computer purchases.†
According to Credant Technologies CEO Bob Heard, his company is”delighted” to have been chosen by Dell to supply data protection and compliance solutions. “It is inspiring that Dell recognizes the importance of data security,” says Heard.
In addition to its new partnership with Dell, Credant announced last month the launch of its new FDE DriveManager.
