Media Encryption offline Encrypted file access without Checkpoint Agent Installed

[Chinmaya_Naik]

Hi Team,

GAIA OS: R80.30

Endpoint Client: E81.40

Blade Enable: Media Encryption

Refer Sk: sk148453

We are testing media encryption on one of our customer environments.

We successfully encrypted business data in the Pendrive but unable to access from the machine where checkpoint endpoint in not installed and also that machine is not a part of the current organization.

So basically we are using Media Encryption Offline Access utility (called as AccessToBusinessData).

As far I know once we encrypted the business data or nonbusiness data depend upon the policy that I configure, then we see an application called as Access To Business Data (Name with space) showing inside the Pendrive once the encrypted was completed.

Also, I can download the Media Encryption Offline Access utility AccessToBusinessData (Name without space).

I try to use both applications but got the below error.

Pls, help to find out the solution.

What if you use an actual PDF viewer rather than Chrome?

Hi @PhoneBoy ,

Thanks for the suggestion.

But I already try with PDF viewer , We not only face issue for PDF file only  also for other file format such as Excel or docs file.Still I am unable to open any business file type using this utility.

Thank You

Hi Team,

Updates

Now we able to access the Encrypted data from the machine where Checkpoint Agent not installed.

I am using the new Checkpoint Endpoint Client Version E82.10 to encrypted Pendrive Data. 

Windows 10 is working fine but recommended all to also install the "Visual Studio 2017 redistributables" packages.

Download File : x86: vc_redist.x86.exe

We can also segregate the file type such as Business-related and Non-Business related data which will create a two partition.

Additional  "Media Encryption Offline Access Tool" (sk148453), not required on most of the cases because when we done the encryption then after encryption we also see the tool called as  "Access To Business Data" on non-business partition drive so by using this tool we able to access the encrypted data which required authentication before access. (Make sure that this tool required Administrator access to open).

Lastly, I love these features😉🤗
