Dear LAN Crypt customer,
SafeGuard LAN Crypt is a first-class, high-performance Data Encryption Solution – today and of course in future. Your data deserves seamless protection. That is why we at conpal GmbH are delighted to continue the development of LAN Crypt for you.
We are using our extensive know-how and long term experience in the development of IT security solutions in order to ensure a smooth transition. Following, you will find the most important information with respect to the transfer of LAN Crypt.
What’s the current situation?
In July last year, Sophos has transferred the rights of SafeGuard LAN Crypt to us.You have been informed by Sophos in October 2018. At the beginning of 2019, we have received permission for the transfer from the relevant authorities (in accordance with § 57 of the German Foreign Trades and Payments Regulation). At present, we are preparing the release of the first conpal LAN Crypt Version.
What’s the next step?
We are making our “Upgrade Release” available for all customers with an active support agreement for SafeGuard LAN Crypt. The “Upgrade Release” is the first conpal version of LAN Crypt – and free for all customers with a valid maintenance contract. The “Upgrade Release” serves as the basis for all future LAN Crypt Versions released by conpal and as such builds the foundation for further development and support.
What are the system requirements for the “Upgrade Release”?
The “Upgrade Release” will be released as conpal LAN Crypt 3.97. The Version will provide an upgrade on the last Version of SafeGuard LAN Crypt Client 3.95.3, released by Sophos. In addition, the “Upgrade Release” supports the current Windows 10 Release 1809 and forms the basis for future upgrades, updates and bugfixes.
What changes regarding your administration?
Nothing, as the upgrade is primarily impacting the client. The backend infrastructure can be largely maintained. We will ensure that your existing policy settings will remain unchanged during the transition, as the Upgrade will be compatible with the current SafeGuard LAN Crypt Admin 3.90-Version.
What should you do now?
We are realizing a smooth transition in order to achieve a seamless protection of your data. To get access to the “Upgrade Release”, please register at our LAN Crypt Landing Page.
From Device Security, via authentication to encryption: Our broad expertise grants a sustainable protection of our customer’s data. For this reason we will continue to develop LAN Crypt now and in future aligned on your current needs – trust in it.
Do you have questions?
Further information about the “Upgrade Release” can be found on our LAN Crypt Page.
