Entrust Entelligence Security Provider

Desktop Security Solutions

Every day, employees, partners and customers access your organization's networks, applications and data to create, store and exchange information. The sensitive information and resources that are involved in these processes need to be protected from theft, loss, tampering and corruption wherever they may be — in storage or in-transit via email or other means.

Industry analysts agree that the loss of hardware is serious, but the costs to an organization from the loss of sensitive data can be significant. Entrust addresses these challenges with a new generation of desktop security solutions that are easy to deploy and use, while resulting in low ongoing costs.

Entrust Entelligence® Security Provider is an enterprise-wide security platform for Windows desktops, domain controllers, and authentication servers that allows organizations to deploy the digital identities that enable the strong authentication, encryption and digital signature capabilities within a number of authentication applications and other applications such as data encryption and secure email. This allows customers to meet a broad set of application security requirements, all from a single solution — helping to enable an easy to manage security infrastructure with minimal administrative involvement and impact on end users. Entrust Entelligence® Security Provider's tight integration with native Microsoft Windows security architecture allows it to deliver security to enterprise applications in a way that is easy to deploy and manage.

The Entrust Entelligence™ Security Provider platform is composed of two components:

Entrust Entelligence® Security Provider for Windows automatically manages and protects the digital identities used by applications for encryption, digital signature and authentication.

Entrust Entelligence® Security Provider for Outlook complements Security Provider for Windows by delivering capabilities that simplify the delivery of secure messages from the sender to the recipient's desktop. It increases the performance and simplicity of secure messaging by transferring all the complexities of secure mail processing to the Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server, with no impact to the end user.
