Security Tools... DriveShield

  • 09/01/02

Centurion Technologies is now offering DriveShield, a new transparent hard drive protection software that lets anyone who manages laptops and desktops reset a system back to its original configuration just by rebooting. The software write-protects the hard drive, making it impossible for the user to make changes inadvertently to the system and reducing the chances for data to be corrupted. If a user deletes a file, an administrator simply reboots the system to restore its original configuration. DriveShield creates a temporary storage area upon installation. When a user modifies a document on the hard drive, those changes are written to the temporary storage area. The document is then read from that temporary storage area, not the hard drive. Centurion Technologies Inc., Fenton, MO, (800) 224-7977, www.centuriontech.com.
