When activated by policy, the Endpoint Security Client 3.5 manages the encryption of files placed in
a specific directory on the endpoint and placed in removable storage devices.
The following instructions will assist you in using ZENworks Endpoint Security on the endpoint.

Section 3.4.2, "Managing Files on Removable Storage," on page 19

3.4.1 Managing Files on Fixed Disks

Fixed disks are defined as all hard-disk drives installed on the computer, as well as any partitions of
a hard-disk drive. Each fixed disk on the endpoint has an
root directory. All files placed in this folder are encrypted, using the current encryption key. Only
authorized users on the computer can decrypt these files.
When saving a file, select the
drive.

3.4.2 Managing Files on Removable Storage

Removable storage is defined as any storage device that is "connected" to a computer. This includes
(but is not limited to) USB thumb drives, flash memory cards, and PCMCIA memory cards, along
with traditional Zip, floppy, and external CDR drives, digital cameras with storage capacity, and
MP3 players.
When you are running ZENworks Endpoint Security, files stored on these devices are encrypted as
they are accessed by the operating system or the user. Files copied to the device are immediately
encrypted. When the removable storage device is connected to a computer not managed by the
ZENworks Endpoint Security system, the files remain encrypted and cannot be decrypted.
