Guarding a Device with CipherTrust Manager

After you register a client with a CipherTrust Manager, you can create as many GuardPoints on the client as you need. These GuardPoints can protect an entire device or individual directories.

Note

In Windows, for guarding using LDT on a local drive, or on a CIFS/Share drive, refer to the CTE-Live Data Transformation with CipherTrust Manager guide.

In order to guard a device or directory, you need to use the CipherTrust Manager Console to:

1. Access the CipherTrust Manager domain in which the client is registered.

2. Identify or create an encryption key that CTE will use to encrypt the data on the device or directory.

3. Identify or create a policy for the device or directory that specifies the access controls and the encryption keys to use for the device or directory.

4. Assign a GuardPoint to the device or directory.
