The unique value of Boole Server means it is fast becoming the choice for leading companies around the world who need to protect and control their sensitive data sharing.
Please see below frequently asked questions on the solution itself, and the link at the bottom of the page for a more detailed overview.
Boole Server can protect any file and/or text. In particular it entirely supports all the most commonly used document formats such as:
In order to provide a fully flexible solution that provides the appropriate level of functionality throughout the customer sharing "network, there are three types of Client Access License available depending on the different types of functionality required by the user.
1. Desktop Client - Full security, sharing and policy setting features for the data sharer.
2. Agent - ability to cipher (limited sharing) and decipher files and text.
3. Agent Light - ability to decipher (only) files and text.
Yes. For document protection, you will need the Boole Desktop Client or Agent. This utility will allow authorized users to protect data which can then be shared with others.
Yes. The recipients of the document will also need to install Boole Desktop Client or Agent. This utility will allow authorized users to access the protected data.
No! Boole Server is designed to integrate with all major infrastructure setups easily. There will be minimal integration required to be made by the IT team and virtually no change by the end-user.
No impact at all. The data exchanged between the client and server is negligible (a few kilobytes). Furthermore, this traffic is not a continuous stream, but occurs only when documents are accessed.
Yes. The owner or anyone who has "Full Control" privilege rights for the document can remove the file protection.
A proprietary encryption technique is used for data management and connections between client and server. Data transferred is strongly encrypted; as a result any intercepted data is impossible to access.
Boole Server uses industry leading encryption levels. Our algorithms provide 256 bit AES encryption, but Boole Server also uses a unique proprietary system that adds random 2048 bit keys to each individual file making it the most secure file sharing solution available.
Yes. Boole Server enables you to track and control data access and usage even when it is shared with people like Vendors, Business Partners, and Customers, who may not be part of your organization. This is one of the key features of the solution.
No! Only the information owner or users who have "Full Control" privileges are able to access the protected data. Not even the IT administrator is able to access the data as it is constantly encrypted and protected.

Yes, Boole Server can restrict the distribution via CDs, USB driver or email by applying the profile attached to the documents.
Yes, Boole Server provides the ability to secure the data and allow users to transfer by all those means. As the data is secured, it is safe to do so. Access to the data will only be granted when the file is used in the correct environment for Boole to authenticate the user and apply the latest policy.
Boole Desktop Client operates on all major versions of the Windows operating systems, whether 32 or 64 bit.
No. This is what makes Boole Server so useful and unique! If you need to modify the usage rights for users, to either give them new rights or reduce the permissible actions, all you have to do is change the rights on the document you have on your desktop/laptop client. The new rights will get automatically applied to the document, even to the copies that were distributed earlier.
From then onwards, whenever any person accesses the document or its copy, the new usage rights will be enforced by Boole Server.
Yes, the Boole Desktop Client prevents any kind of screen grabbing tool like the Operating system Print Screen functionality as well as screen grabbing tools like MS Snip it / GoToMeeting / Camtasia from remotely displaying the content / document.
Boole can also prevent data capture using remote desktop sessions. Additionally, dynamically applied watermarking and "anti-photo" reading panes can help prevent loss of information through photography of the users screen.
In instances where a user requires access to a secured document in an offline environment, like a flight for example, a file can be made available for that situation. The file is given an offline access key that allows the document to be worked on.
