HyTrust Policy Agent GUI Overview

The HyTrust Policy Agent GUI is installed locally on the Windows server with the HyTrust DataControl Policy Agent. It provides basic encryption and decryption functionality by sending requests to KeyControl so that you do not need to log into the KeyControl webGUI.

The HyTrust Policy Agent GUI allows you to register or authenticate the VM with KeyControl, and it shows the KeyControl connection information and the status of each disk or folder mount on the VM. You can right-click any of the listed disks or folder mounts to encrypt or decrypt them. In the screenshot above, the GUI shows that the folder mount C:\data is encrypted and attached to KeyControl while C: is being encrypted and the encryption process has completed 70.05% of the disk.
