INTEGO ANNOUNCES PUBLIC BETA
OF NEW DATA PROTECTION PROGRAM
Intego FileGuard X4 Provides Virtual Safes for Confidential Files
Austin, TX, July 23, 2007 — Intego, the Macintosh security
specialist, today announced the public beta release of its new
FileGuard X4 data protection program. FileGuard X4 creates virtual
safes that provide unbreakable protection for sensitive files. Users
can create as many safes as they need for different types of files;
send sensitive files to others with no risk; and store safes on
servers or external disks with full security.
FileGuard X4 is designed to meet the needs of mobile users who have
sensitive files on their laptops, as well as home and business users
who want to ensure that their confidential data is protected. Unlike
Apple’s FileVault, which requires that users encrypt their entire
home folder, FileGuard X4 lets users choose which files or folders
they want to protect, and only the ones they want to protect.
FileGuard X4’s virtual safes are easy-to-use, practical, and
flexible, offering many options, such as permissions for shared
access, simple drag-and-drop copying to and from safes, and
unbreakable encryption.
“Identity theft is one of the leading computer security issues these
days, and the only way to prevent it is to ensure that all personal
and confidential documents are fully protected,” said Laurent
Marteau, CEO of Intego. “FileGuard X4 lets users protect their most
confidential documents, with unbreakable encryption. Even if someone
gets access to their Mac, they won’t be able to break into these
safes.”
Features of FileGuard X4:
* Store sensitive files in secure virtual safes
* Industry-standard encryption makes safes unbreakable
* Create as many safes as you need
* Set a different password for each safe
* Create safes by drag-and-drop, or from the Intego menu
* Safes increase in capacity as you add more files
* Change the size of a safe or compress it to save space
* Open safes by a simple double-click in the Finder
* Protect sensitive files on laptops in case of loss or theft
* Protect files on portable media, such as iPods or USB key drives
* Safes work like folders – drag files to and from your safes
* Safe icons indicate their status (open or closed)
* Use floating windows to access safes at all times
* Send safes by e-mail, or store them on servers or external disks
* Set read and write permissions for safes stored on shared volumes
System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or higher
* 20 MB hard disk space
The public beta of Intego FileGuard X4 is available for free and can
