Beta Testing Opens

We are also happy to announce open beta programs for our upcoming plugins:

Need to know if the computers in a particular group are properly protected?  Want notification if an encrypted drive is decrypted, or if encryption has stalled for too long? Let our reporting do the work for you.

Enhanced SMART Reporting
