Safend Protector Cryptographic Library is "in review" phase of validation for FIPS 140-2

Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-2 — Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules specifies requirements for cryptographic products to be deployed in a Sensitive but Unclassified environment.
Safend Protector detects and allows restriction of devices by device type, model or even specific device serial number. For storage devices, Safend Protector allows security administrators to either block all storage devices completely, permit read-only, encrypt all data on devices as well as monitoring, blocking and logging files that are downloaded to or read from these devices. Safend Encryptor uses the cryptographic library to encrypt the internal hard disk.
More information about the FIPS 140-2 standard and validation program is available on the NIST website at: http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval
