![]() ![]() The standalone MSI file can be downloaded directly from the Broadcom Support Portal.įor the Drive Encryption component, if you install as a standalone client, the end user is in full control of their recovery key and will not be managed by the server. In this way, if you need to encrypt only a few machines and do not need to manage any of the components with a server, PGP is likely the best choice. Although it is possible to manage the PGP client (SED) by the server, it is not necessary in order to obtain the installer and get started with encryption. PGP can run as a "standalone" product and all the features available can be used as a standalone client and does not require configuring a server to use this product. Symantec Encryption Desktop (SED) - This is the client component that is installed on each endpoint and can perform all the features mentioned above in the introduction and will go over in more detail later on in this article. Symantec Encryption Management Server (SEMS) - This is the management server piece that will manage the encryption desktop clients on the PGP side. All policy applied to the machine itself, not the user. The SEE Client will always have a recovery key even if the SEE Client never connects to the server. ![]() When a Drive Encryption recovery key is needed, the Encryption Administrator will search for the machine (rather than the user), and display the recovery key for the machine. Once the user logs in, the user is registered to the drive encryption piece and associated to the machine. This means that when the client is installed, the machine itself can automatically start encrypting without any user intervention-in fact, once the SEE Client is installed, upon reboot, even if the user does not login to the system, encryption will start. With Symantec Endpoint Encryption, the client is managed on a "per machine" basis. The policy for the PGP clients is applicable to the user, and not the machine. When a Drive Encryption recovery key is needed, the Encryption Administrator will locate the user, and display the recovery key for the machine in question. The user exists on the server and the machine is associated with the user. This means that when the client is installed, a user is enrolled (either by the end user themselves, or invisibly depending on which option is chosen) and once enrollment is completed, the drive encryption process will start. With the PGP product, the client is managed on a "per user" basis.

The two encryption solutions Symantec Enterprise Division offers are the PGP Encryption Solutions (SED\SEMS), and the Symantec Endpoint Encryption product line (SEE): Each of these two solutions have some of the same functionality and some overlap, however, the two operate and behave in significant ways so it's useful to know how the two encryption solutions differ, which this article will go over to help you choose the best solution for your encryption needs. Symantec Enterprise Division offers two encryption solutions\products to help you secure your sensitive data in many different scenarios. What is the difference between SEE and PGP? ![]()
