ENCRYPTED DRIVES

Portable storage devices are a popular way to transport files between computers and to backup important information. However, the ubiquity of these devices heightens the security concerns of carrying confidential data. It is important to prevent confidential information from falling into the hands of unauthorized users should a device be lost or stolen. Encryption can be an effective way to protect the privacy of sensitive corporate and personal data. While software encryption programs can help protect data and provide a good first line of defense, they are vulnerable to a number of decryption attacks. Hardware-based encryption offers a stronger defense against the same threat models, and is now available on a new generation of portable data security and authentication devices from Integral Memory.
