Dubbed Protiva Smart Guardian and based on smart card technology from Gemalto and flash technology from Lexar, the device enables digital data integrity and data loss prevention by providing a platform to access corporate resources. Smart Guardian also integrates management options which enable end-users and administrators to register new devices, update software on the devices, implement protected corporate applications, as well as remotely block a lost or stolen token. In order to use it, users will insert their authorised portable token and enter a passphrase to unlock the device and thus enable any transferred data to be automatically encrypted.
The device also enables two-factor authentication based on something the user has (the USB token) and something the user knows (the passphrase).
