Enhanced File Protection

CA ControlMinder supports both logical and absolute file name formats. For example, if the file foo.txt is located under the directory \tmp on the logical drive D and the logical name “D:” is assigned to physical disk 1, partition 0, you can use either the logical or absolute file name to define a file to the CA ControlMinder database:

nr file D:\tmp\foo.txt

or

nr file \Device\HardDisk1\Partition1\tmp\foo.txt

Note: If the second format is used, the file remains protected even if the logical name of the disk is changed. The absolute file name format is also supported for CA ControlMinder generic file protection.

CA ControlMinder protects all file systems currently used in supported Windows operating systems. The two most commonly used are the Windows file system (NTFS) and the file allocation table (FAT). CA ControlMinder also supports CDFS (a file system especially for CDs).

CA ControlMinder supplies a total security solution to the file allocation table (FAT) and an extra layer of security to other file systems including NTFS and CDFS.
