Executive Summary

The worldwide leading security solution for Excel
ExcelShield is a security supplementation for Excel. It protects your intellectual property, knowledge, and expertise, restricts the user rights according to your preferences, and removes hidden sensitive data from your workbooks before they fall into other people's hands. As a result, ExcelShield prevents or hampers unauthorized access, theft of information, industrial espionage, hacking, manipulation for personal enrichment, sabotage, as well as error and carelessness of the own employees, which together amount to 43% of all IT relevant damages (source: KES/KPMG Security Study 2002). Thus, ExcelShield not only protects your workbooks - it also protects your knowledge and your competitive advantage.

Overview

• Encryption of formulas and data
  The formulas and data of an Excel workbook represent the knowledge and expertise. By encrypting them with one of the most secure encryption methods available (AES, 128 bit), they are protected against unauthorized inspection and modification. It is important to note that the protected workbooks remain still fully functional.
• Restriction of user rights
  In addition to the encryption, the rights of authorized users can be restricted. User rights can be bound to certain users, to time periods or fixed dates, and to specific computers.
• Removal of hidden sensitive data
  Excel automatically saves hidden sensitive data in all workbooks. These data may give hackers and other attackers important information. ExcelShield has the functionality to remove these hidden data from your workbooks.
• Seamless integration into Excel's working environment
  ExcelShield is fully integrated into Excel's working environment and works in the background without slowing down the system. The user is not restricted in her productivity and working methods.
• Interface to VBA
  The built-in interface to VBA makes it possible to calculate encrypted formulas via macros.
• Free ExcelShield Client-Add-In
  The free ExcelShield Client-Add-In makes it possible to use encrypted workbooks on any computer, even if the ExcelShield full version is not installed. The Client-Add-In may be given freely to as many clients and other people as you like.
• Simple installation, no additional hardware or software needs, no follow-up costs
