Deep Freeze

Deep Freeze renders your Windows unbreakable. It secures endpoints by freezing a snapshot of a workstation's preferred configuration and settings as determined by the IT Administrator. With a simple reboot, any unpleasant or unwanted changes are removed from the machine, reverting it to its original frozen state. 

Deep Freeze Standard offers ultimate PC protection by leveraging ARD for deployment and maintenance, allowing IT administrators to secure their PCs and keep them functioning smoothly and without constraints.

It saves your computer's setup. Any changes, whether malicious or unintended, are reversed upon restarting. This is known as Reboot-to-Restore, and each reboot returns the machine to the intended settings. Create virtual partitions to save vital data even when there is no distinct physical partition on the computer. Get increased security by protecting the Master Boot Record from rootkit injections and other changes, making your security unassailable. It employs unique technology to divert information being written to the hard drive to an allocation table while keeping the original data intact. 

Provide students with a flexible lab setting in which they can advance their study without putting computers at danger. Prevent configuration drift and protect your public computers from infection that could result in data breaches. With each reboot, clear session data and resolve concerns created by numerous workers accessing patient data on COWs. Make your business computers even more durable. Revert system changes and any consequent issues created by various actions with a simple reboot.

Main Features

System Restoration 
It enables users to build and configure a default configuration known as the "Frozen" state. When activated, the program ensures that the system returns to this baseline whenever the machine is rebooted. This function helps to eliminate undesired changes and ensures system consistency. 

Protection against Malware 
It adds an extra layer of malware protection because any harmful software or changes done to the system during a session are erased upon reboot. This aids in preventing persistent threats. 

Password Protection 
Users can create a master password to limit access to the settings. This ensures that any illegal changes to the software's settings are banned. 

Users can establish "ThawSpaces," virtual partitions for persistent data storage. This functionality ensures that essential data is not lost during a reboot. 

Scheduled Maintenance 
Users can set up maintenance intervals in which the app is momentarily disabled to allow system updates and modifications to be made. 

Centralized Management 
Organizations benefit from centralized management via the Enterprise Console, which allows IT managers to remotely handle many PCs.
