Seagate and SECUDE Demonstrate New Class of Notebook PC Security at CeBIT 2006

Seagate Technology (NYSE:STX), the world’s leading hard drive maker, and SECUDE IT Security GmbH, a leading provider of IT security solutions, are joining forces at CeBIT 2006, March 9-15, to demonstrate a solution that combines the highest level of protection against unauthorized access to information stored on lost or stolen notebook PCs with a software infrastructure that gives organizations an easy way to manage notebook security.

The joint CeBIT demonstration at SECUDE’s booth, E38 in Hall 7, features the Seagate Momentus 5400 FDE notebook hard drive, a 5400-RPM model that uses hardware-based Full Disc Encryption (FDE) to provide the highest levels of data security, and SECUDE’s TiDoCoMi(tm) access management technology. TiDoCoMi(tm) provides the management capabilities that organizations need to cost-effectively protect encryption keys and passwords while enabling all known single and multifactor authentication techniques.

Privacy regulations such as the European Union Data Protection Directive (DPD), the U.S. Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the U.S. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act are increasing the need for protection of data on mobile devices. The TiDoCoMi(tm) access management software from SECUDE in conjunction with the Momentus 5400 FDE drive from Seagate delivers a solution designed to provide robust notebook security for customers ranging from individual users to large enterprises.
