Portable Media Encryption
How often have you transferred a file between a PC, Laptop or PDA using a USB memory stick, Portable Hard Drive, CD/DVD drive or even using Bluetooth or infra-red signal? We’ve all done it as it’s often the simplest way to migrate data from one device to another, doesn’t need the intervention of the IT department or other third party. Yet what if that data is sensitive and you forget to delete it from your portable media device or from the destination machine and it falls into the wrong hands?
There have been many high profile cases of this happening across all sectors, Government and commercial and the consequences have been dire with data being published on the Internet affecting a lot of people and causing a rise in identity theft.
ecommnet has a couple of solutions which tackle this issue both transparent to the user and so allowing you to continue with your current business practices without causing a potential security risk. Utimaco offers a range of device encryption and data security management tools with its SafeGuard Portfolio whilst Aladdin offers combined two-factor authentication and encrypts the data on the USB Flash Drive in transit so it can only be read by authorised users.
