Pre-Boot Authentication Policy Builder

Overview

The PBA Policy Builder is a tool to create and edit policies for the purpose of configuration, initialization, and de-initialization. The purpose of these policies is to allow for an administrator to remotely control and ensure the consistent, central deployment and configuration of PBA with no need for user interaction.

• Initialization Policies: These policies allow you to initialize and configure computers that already have Matrix42 Full Disk Encryption PBA installed but have not yet initialized.
• Configuration Policies: These policies allow you to either perform a new installation of PBA to another networked computer, or to remotely configure FDE after it has been installed.
• De-initialization policies: These policies allow you to decrypt drives, remove boot security on a client machine, or even to remove the whole product.

A policy is usually created on a different computer from the computer to which the policy will be deployed. FDE must be installed on the computer that generates the policy, but boot security and drive encryption do not.
