Management for BitLocker

Included in Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate and Enterprise, BitLocker Drive Encryption is a feature that can protect information on a drive. Many find BitLocker appealing because purchasing a separate encryption solution is not required. However IT needs enterpriselevel management with centralized reporting and audit capabilities to effectively leverage BitLocker to help address security and regulatory compliance concerns.

BitLocker Manager, part of a comprehensive data protection portfolio called Dell Data Protection | Encryption, solves these issues and enables IT to enforce encryption across your organization. Designed for simple management, comprehensive protection and flexibility, BitLocker Manager features include:
