Hard Disk Encryption
SafeGuard Easy encrypts the entire hard disk or individual parts, irrespective of the file system (e.g. NTFS, FAT etc.) - sector by sector, including the operating system, temporary files and all information.

Algorithms
SafeGuard Easy supports the newly designated advanced encryption standard, AES, with 256 and 128 bit key length, Rijndael 256 bit as well as IDEA 128 bit.

Encryption of External Data Media
SafeGuard Easy supports the secure exchange of data by using configurable data media encryption (such as floppy disk, ZIP, JAZ etc).
