The SecureD^® 256-bit AES encryption module is a robust, non-obtrusive solution that addresses the problem of computer data security by integrating a SecureD^® hardware/firmware-based encryption module directly between the hard drive controller and the hard disk drive.

SecureD^® has received Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Level 3 certification, as well as Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 4+ (EAL4+) certification.

Working independent of the operating system, SecureD^® easily solves data security issues while working in the background, transparent to users, and without slowing operations. SecureD^® is available in SecureD^® Laptop encrypted disk, SecureD^® Desktop encrypted disk and SecureD^® USB encrypted disk versions.

Why is this crucial to you? Because statistics show that not only are laptop and home computers being stolen at an increasing rate, but they often contain sensitive but unclassified (SBU) data that is then compromised.

For example, a recent FBI report warns that one out of 10 notebook (laptop) computers will be stolen within a year of being purchased. Ninety percent of stolen laptops are never recovered.

Recent news reports have raised awareness of the fact that stolen laptops and personal computers often contain personal operational data as well as SBU client, company, and government data. Loss of this crucial data threatens financial or other damage to the client, company, or government represented. And as if that wasn't bad enough, computer owners who carelessly lose information face heavy penalties as a result of new government and industry guidelines for protection of data.

These guidelines include regulations imposed by the Payment Card Industry (PCI), Data Security Standard (DSS), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

SecureD^® hardware/firmware encryption is the ultimate protection for protecting SBU information from theft and carelessness. For personal computer, laptop, and portable hard disk drive users, the SecureD^® encryption security module offers a unique and vastly superior solution that will not only keep your data safe, but give you peace of mind as well.
