Credant Technologies was a company formerly located in Addison, Texas that offered products and services for data security. The company was founded in 2001 by Bob Heard, Chris Burchett and Andrew Kahl.[1] The company claims that their products protect two million end-points in several industries, such as universities, health-care, aeronautical, financial[2][3] and government/defense.[4]
The company offers a range of products to protect data from "leaking". Several different versions of the main technology can be used on different locations in the network: via a "policy proxy" on the border between the LAN and the internet or in the DMZ, or a central "enterprise server" within the network. Also editions for Exchange servers and domain controllers are available. Other products are self-encrypting drivers that will encrypt all data on that drive without any additional requirements on the client or from the user, BitLocker management systems, Policy Reporting tools.[5]
