Credant Technologies has announced the release of Credant Manager for BitLocker, a key component of the new CREDANT Enterprise Server 7.1.1, which will be available soon. As part of a series of releases providing centralized management for encryption across all enterprise platforms, CREDANT Enterprise Server 7.1.1 will provide a simple and integrated solution to reduce the work of managing Microsoft BitLocker.

“Gartner clients know that data leakage can cost them money and their reputations, and eventually most companies will make MDP investments, whether they are small or large enterprises, or bound by compliance rules or not,” reports John Gerard, vice president and distinguished analyst, Gartner. “They will make those purchases faster when the solutions are easy to understand and manage, easy to use, and priced affordably.”

“CREDANT customers have told us they need a more robust, comprehensive approach to manage BitLocker and meet their data protection requirements in an integrated manner,” said Chris Burchett, chief technology officer and co-founder, CREDANT Technologies. “This release, including the CREDANT Manager for BitLocker, helps address security concerns with the minimum impact to end-users, the least workload for IT and security administrators, and the most integrated, secure management capabilities on the market today.”
