SECUDE, the End-to-End IT Security Products &Amp; Solutions Company, Releases FinallySecure(TM) 1.0, the Ground-Breaking Authentication and Encryption Solution for Seagate 5400 Momentus FDE.2 Drives

Posted on: Friday, 29 June 2007, 09:03 CDT

After two years of development, SECUDE is pleased to announce the official release of FinallySecure(TM) 1.0, which provides total Data-at-Rest security for new hardware-based Full Disk Encryption (FDE) technologies. This software provides another avenue for system builders and integrators to benefit from increased consumer demands for security products. When bundled in new systems with an FDE disk drive, FinallySecure(TM) gives substantial value to the end user by providing an Adaptive Technology with Risk Management and Productivity gains for end-to-end security. The result is an off-the-shelf laptop with the most advanced encryption system on the market.

Tristan Kromer, SECUDE's Mobile Security Business Unit Manager, notes, "In today's business environment, FinallySecure(TM) is the first line of defense for the mobile workforce, protecting the user's data against loss or theft. This complete security umbrella protects against loss of data, fines from non-compliance with various legislations, and destruction of brand value."

In addition to the clear risk management benefits, hardware-based FDE offers a substantial improvement over software-based solutions by providing clear productivity gains which easily offset the cost of implementation. With a dedicated encryption chip located on the hard drive itself, performance is enhanced while the total install and encryption time is reduced from several hours to a few minutes. Moreover, repurposing the drives with a cryptographic erase function allows completely secure and irreversible erasure of confidential data in the blink of an eye.

When combined with SECUDE secure notebook, SECUDE is the only company with a Full Disk Encryption solution that offers backward compatibility for older PC systems with its software-based FDE while also allowing for easy upgrade to newer PC systems with FDE hard drives. The solution fulfills a critical business need by allowing customer migration from single user to enterprise and software to hardware-based FDE, all with central management. FinallySecure(TM) allows businesses to survive, adapt, and grow in a heterogeneous IT eco-system.

FinallySecure(TM) integrated with the SECUDE security portfolio serves as the first link in an authentication chain which stretches from the Pre-Boot phase to client applications such as email encryption to server-based business application access. Without such a complete chain, assets will be exposed at the weakest link. SECUDE offers the holistic vision to close such security gaps through a true end-to-end solution.
