BestCrypt Enterprise
Reliable encryption wherever you store sensitive data.
Sometimes the weakest link in your enterprise security is the user. A laptop gets lost at the airport or a USB stick carrying next quarter's financial reports get misplaced, exposing your company to data theft or even regulatory penalties. Jetico's BestCrypt Enterprise encryption software offers a reliable way to ensure against unintended data leaks. BestCrypt Enterprise automatically encrypts data before saving or storing a file, and transparently decrypts the information when given the correct password or key.
In conclusion, BestCrypt is an impressive product. If stability, comprehensive and modular support for a variety of popular encryption algorithms, and overall tightness are anything to go by, it seems to be highly secure as well.
I enthusiastically recommend considering BestCrypt for your filesystem encryption needs, especially if you use both Linux and Windows. It's helped restore some of my hope for a more crypto-enabled populace and has been fun to play with, too."

BestCrypt Enterprise supports several encryption algorithms and security standards and offers multiple ways to work transparently with encrypted data:
- Store encrypted data in containers and access the data through virtual drives.
- Encrypt sets of files into a single compressed and self-extracting archive (Read more about BCArchive - included in BestCrypt Enterprise).
- See BestCrypt Volume Encryption to encrypt and transparently access whole Windows partitions/volumes - 25% discount when purchased together with BestCrypt Enterprise.
BestCrypt Enterprise automatically encrypts data before saving or storing a file. Sensitive information is scrambled using an algorithm, making the data unreadable. BestCrypt Enterprise will transparently decrypt the file once the file has been opened by providing the correct password or key.
BestCrypt Enterprise creates and supports encrypted virtual disks, which are visible as regular disks with corresponding drive letters (for example, D:, K:, Z:, i.e. with any drive letter that is not used by another system device).
Reliable Encryption
BestCrypt Enterprise encrypts data using a choice of several encryption algorithms (AES, Blowfish, Twofish, CAST and others). Every algorithm is implemented with the largest possible key size defined in the algorithm's specification. BestCrypt Enterprise can utilize LRW Encryption Mode,which is designed specifically for applications working on disk sector level and is more secure than other popular modes like Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode.
Convenient Storage & Access
Data encrypted with BestCrypt Enterprise is stored on the disk in a container file so that it is possible to backup the container, move it, or copy it to another disk (CD-ROM or network, for instance) and continue to access your encrypted data using BestCrypt Enterprise.
Thanks to container-level compatibility on different platforms, BestCrypt Enterprise container files may be moved between any computer or storage media, on a variety of supported operating systems. Whether you're using Linux kernel version 2.2.x or the latest version of Windows, your BestCrypt Enterprise container files will continue to work as you expect.
Any free drive letter in the system may be used to mount and to open an encrypted file-container for access. With BestCrypt Enterprise, you can mount file-container as a subfolder on NTFS disk. When the virtual disk is opened, you can read and write data as if it were a conventional removable disk.

BestCrypt Server Manager
BestCrypt Enterprise includes a set of utilities and software modules allowing central administration of encryption software installed on remote client computers.
BestCrypt Server Manager has been developed for companies and organizations in which installation, updating and control of BestCrypt software can be a time consuming and expensive task because of the number of workstations. With the Server Manager, a single person (Administrator) from a central administration computer running Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista can control all functions including initial installation of Administrating Database on Server and client BestCrypt software on any number of remote workstations.
Main Features:
- BestCrypt Server Manager provides administration of the BestCrypt software on remote client computers in networks with Windows Vista, Windows XP or Windows 2000/2003 Domain Servers.
- Provides automatic installation of BestCrypt Enterprise on remote client computers.
- Automatic update of BestCrypt Enterprise on remote client computers.
- Automatic uninstallation of BestCrypt Enterprise from client computers.
- Access central Administrating Database from local or remote Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista computer.
- Central Administration does not require installation of additional Microsoft(R) products like database servers, Internet Information Server or others.
- Backup encrypted keys for users' container files in Administrating Database.
- Provides users with a right to access container, created by other user, so that every user can access the container with individual password, unknown to Administrator.
- Control information about the BestCrypt Enterprise software is installed on each client computer.
- Set a schedule for automatic backup of Administrating Database.
