History

Credant was founded in 2001 by Bob Heard, Chris Burchett and Andrew Kahl.[1][3]

In December 2012, Dell agreed to acquire Credant for an undisclosed amount.[4][5][6]

Products

The company offered a range of products to protect data from "leaking". Several different versions of the main technology can be used on different locations in the network: via a "policy proxy" on the border between the LAN and the internet or in the DMZ, or a central "enterprise server" within the network. Also editions for Exchange servers and domain controllers are available. Other products are self-encrypting drivers that will encrypt all data on that drive without any additional requirements on the client or from the user, BitLocker management systems, Policy Reporting tools.[7]
