Whether for professional or private use, no-one likes the thought of storing or archiving sensitive data that can be accessed by unapproved people. This can be true for many files, from financial data, new product designs, plans, legal contracts, images, lists of names and addresses – basically, anything that would be considered private or confidential.
‚Organisations need to ensure that data is secure for legal reasons, but they also should do it to prevent the company’s reputation from being damaged. Today, data loss is a significant legal and regulatory issue and those responsible for IT within companies need to be fully aware of this,‚ comments Manny Cross, Manager – Sub Sahara Africa at Verbatim.
Secure Data USB Drive / SSD ExpressCard ‚Remote‚
Verbatim’s Secure Data USB and SSD Drives ‚Remote‚ deliver premium AES 256bit (Advanced Encryption Standard) hardware security encryption and integrated password protection on an SSD ExpressCard or USB drive, which enables the storing and carrying of confidential data while being protected from loss or theft. An additional line of defence strengthens the security of your data even further: After registering the device, the user can control the device via the Internet and ‚lock‚ (no password entry possible), ‚unlock‚ (enable password entry) or ‚erase all data‚ if it becomes lost/stolen. The SSD ExpressCard drive fits inside every laptop’s PCI ExpressCard slot, providing a convenient way to add storage capacity without increasing the footprint of the laptop with an external device or going inside the case to install hardware.
Secure Data USB Drive /SSD ExpressCard ‚AntiVirus‚
