PBA in Endpoint Encryption 7.0 Patch 1
On BIOS‑based systems, the EEPC operating system provides security by booting prior to Windows
and requiring Pre‑Boot Authentication before the user is allowed to access the main operating system.
On UEFI‑based systems, the EEPC software runs as a trusted application providing the same level of
functionality.
PBA in EEMac is a firmware application that acts as a trusted authentication layer by serving as an
extension of the boot firmware and guarantees a secure, tamper‑proof environment external to the
Mac operating system. Firmware is the combination of persistent memory and program code and data
stored in it.
The PBA in Endpoint Encryption prevents Windows or Mac from loading until the user has
authenticated with the correct password. It eliminates the possibility that one of the millions of lines of
the OS code can compromise the privacy of personal or company data.
The PBA provided by Endpoint Encryption has proven time and time again as the best Data Protection
solution in the market. The PBA solution is an unmatched best practice to be followed by any
organization for system security and data protection.
