| WinMagic Data Security Teams with Seagate Technology WinMagic Data Security is teaming with Seagate Technology to provide comprehensive, enterprise-class security for data-at-rest. The companies have agreed to unite their best-in-class technologies - WinMagic SecureDoc software and Seagate SecureT disk drive technology - as a next-generation security solution for data stored on desktops, notebooks and removable media. There have been many instances of notebooks and other data storage devices misplaced or stolen over the last several years by various government agencies, as well as, other businesses that would benefit greatly by the combined solution of WinMagic's SecureDoc software and the Seagate SecureT hard disk drives. Seagate SecureT disk drive technology is a security platform combining strong, completely automated hardware-based full disk encryption and security, with a programmatic interface that makes it easy to add other software security applications. WinMagic's SecureDocT supports Seagate Secure hard drives to deliver robust data protection, flexibility and end-user transparency under a single, extensible management console and policy framework. WinMagic's SecureDoc will provide organization-wide encryption key management, multi-factor user authentication, file/folder encryption and other capabilities that lock down digital information assets. Seagate's Momentus 5400 FDE.2 hard drive is the first notebook hard drive to offer Seagate Secure disk drive technology and a highly-secure computing environment for independent data processing and private code execution for certified software applications. Together, the combination of Seagate's and WinMagic's data-at-rest security solution offers an advanced key management capability that complements the strongest hardware-based level of security. Integration of WinMagic's SecureDoc security suite with the Seagate Secure disk drive technology will result in a complete encryption solution, offering comprehensive safeguards for data-at-rest, including: - Fully-transparent, 'always-on' hardware-based full-disk encryption utilizing the Seagate Secure technology; - Secure partitioning to provide additional drive-level security solutions; - Sector-by-sector encryption of portable media - including USB drives and CD/DVDs - with SecureDoc award-winning client software; - Manual and automatic, policy-driven encryption for files, folders and containers; - Single or multi-factor user authentication at pre-boot, with support for any combination of passwords, USB tokens, smartcards, biometrics, TPM and PKI; - A secure erase and disposal capability for the decommissioning or repurposing of hard disk drives. All security functions can be administered from WinMagic's centralized management application, SecureDoc Enterprise Server (SES). SES offers enterprise-class functions such as 'silent' software installation, interoperability with Active Directory, remote password recovery, dynamic key provisioning and encryption key escrow. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
