Are you spending too much time and money maintaining your computers?

Protect your computer's image from unwanted changes and reduce time and cost of your organization's computer maintenance.

Our software write-protects the hard drive and prevents any unwanted changes such as spyware, adware, viruses, worms, and other unwanted code from permanently affecting your hard drive. The computer behaves as if all changes are permanent, providing a full user experience. However, upon reboot, all changes in the protected drive(s) are wiped free from the computer, instantly restoring it to your last defined configuration.

About Centurion Technologies

Centurion Technologies, Inc. (CTI), located in St. Louis, MO, has been a pioneer in proven drive and data protection hardware and software since 1996 when the company launched its premier, award-winning product, Centurion Guard®. The company has enjoyed substantial growth, catching the attention of system administrators in colleges, universities, libraries, corporations and schools in nearly every state in the U.S. and worldwide. Our products have been integrated into the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation to provide a more stable hard drive security for libraries across the nation and as recent as the 2004 Summer Olympics in which the Olympic committee used DriveShield to protect the Olympic Village computers.

How Do We Help Libraries?

With all of the technological advances over the last few decades, most libraries have started using Public Access Computers (PACs) to increase the overall experience for their patrons. PACs are wonderful tools for patrons to use. They can explore the Internet, write papers for school or work, play games, and a plethora of other uses. While the public's access to library computers is meant to enhance their library experience, PACs can sometimes turn into a "Pandora's Box" for library administrators.

That's where Centurion comes in!

Our software write-protects the hard drive and prevents any unwanted changes such as: spy-ware, ad-ware, viruses, worms, and other unwanted code from permanently affecting the hard drive. The computer behaves as if all changes are permanent, providing a full user experience. However, upon reboot, all changes are wiped free from the computer, instantly restoring it to your last defined configuration. To this day, our protection has never been breached and with the introduction of our new software CornerStone and network manager CompuGuard Control Center, libraries will have the same protection with even more power to manage their clients.
