Utimaco Combines its Solutions with Brand New Hardware-Based Hard Disk Encryption System from Seagate
London, UK, 9 June 2005 – The secure handling of data on notebooks is one thing, but the ability to administrate mobile computers in a company network is another. Utimaco, the leading European supplier of IT security solutions has worked together with Seagate, leaders in the design, manufacturing and marketing of hard disc drives, to combine the two aspects of security technology with the latest hardware-based full disk encryption solution.
For Utimaco, this partnership is one more step in the process of anchoring mobile security in companies. Seagate’s new Momentus hard disk ensures complete disk encryption. As passwords are easily forgotten, Utimaco provides a secure and efficient emergency system for resetting them when the Momentus solution is implemented. Companys’ administrators can implement supplementary Utimaco SafeGuard solutions to extend the encryption protection to mobile memory media and servers.
“The pressure to provide greater flexibility during daily working life means that ever more mobile personal devices are being integrated in corporate networks. This makes optimum integration of security and administrative ability for the devices essential. With this joint solution, we can offer our customers much more protection against hacking and system manipulation than with traditional security measures”, said Jackie Groves, managing director of Utimaco. “This cooperation, which begins at the development stage, is very important to our efforts to supply our business customers with greater security management. It means we can provide optimum security solutions.
