Deep Freeze

Deep Freeze is endpoint protection software that keeps a computer locked to a saved configuration. An administrator freezes a snapshot of the machine's setup. Any change made afterwards, wanted or not, disappears when the computer restarts.

What Deep Freeze offers

• Frozen configuration — a stored snapshot of the desired settings.
• Restart recovery — unwanted or unauthorised changes wiped at the next reboot.
• Open user access — people can use the machine freely because nothing permanent can be altered.

Who it works with

Anyone managing shared or public workstations who needs machines back in a known state, such as IT administrators.

Key facts

• Method: reboot to restore
• Effect: workstation returns to its frozen state on each restart
