Can GuardianEdge Hard Disk and GuardianEdge Removable Storage run on the same endpoint?
Yes. GuardianEdge Hard Disk and GuardianEdge Removable Storage complement each other. GuardianEdge Hard Disk protects data on the hard drive, while GuardianEdge Removable Storage protects data on storage devices. When users save data from a disk that GuardianEdge Hard Disk has encrypted to a storage device, GuardianEdge Hard Disk decrypts the data on the fly as it is being read from the hard drive into RAM. At this point, this data is indistinguishable from data that is being read from a disk that is not encrypted. The data then gets copied to the storage device, and GuardianEdge Removable Storage encrypts the data as it is being written to the storage device. If a user copies or drags-and-drops an encrypted file from a storage device to the hard drive, GuardianEdge Removable Storage will first decrypt the file so that the computer can read it into RAM. Then, the computer will write the data to the hard drive, at which point, GuardianEdge Hard Disk will encrypt it.
