Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for providing user access to encrypted data. In one example, a system is configured to receive a security policy for the user device, wherein the security policy includes data access conditions and data encryption conditions for one or more users of the user device; identify one or more user accounts in the OS of the user device as specified in the data access conditions; create a pre-boot authentication account (PBA) for the identified user accounts based on the data access conditions, for storing pre-boot authentication credentials for authenticating a user before booting of the OS on the user device; and encrypt at least a portion of data stored on the user device based on the data encryption conditions, wherein access to the encrypted portion of data is granted to the user upon entry of the correct pre-boot authentication credentials.
