Most of us keep sensitive but unprotected information like company's trade secrets, financial and payroll information on desktop, laptop or network server. Some may even store their personal bank statement or PIN number in the hard disk of these machines. Such insecure file storage will expose you to the risks of potential intruders stealing the desktop and laptop or hacking into your network server simply for this valuable information. Have you ever thought that company trade secrets like Intellectual Property, business strategy, business policy, customer database and product price list, stored or transferred over your network may be sabotaged by your competitors or even your own employees? One of the worst consequences is that you may suffer substantial financial losses simply because your competitors can access to your company's proprietary trade information. So how can you prevent all this critical data stored in the desktop, laptop and Network Server from unauthorized access and unwanted intervention?

The topmost solution that may come to your mind is to encrypt each and every confidential file to keep it safe. This is feasible if you only have a few sensitive data to safeguard. But it can be a tedious affair if you have bulks and bulks of information to protect! What you need is the most convenient way and yet not compromising the security strength of encrypting your files. SecureAge Technology's SecureDisk is an easy-to-use solution that provides full-strength encryption to all your valuable information. It is the latest basic component of our SecureAge solution going to be officially launched in the market soon.

SecureDisk safeguards all organizations' confidential information (like company's trade secrets, customer database and personal records) stored in their laptop, desktop, network server and even removable media (like CD Rom, diskette and USB storage device) by encrypting and locking a designated disk drive using Triple-DES or AES encryption algorithms. It creates a disk volume that behaves just like any local disk but the difference is it performs real-time encryption or decryption automatically and seamlessly. You can be assured that all files stored in this disk volume will be securely encrypted.

The beauty of SecureDisk is that the encryption and decryption process works exactly the same way for fixed disk, remote disk as well as removable media. It is so easy to use that users who want to secure a particular file or subfolder can simply copy it to the encrypted disk volume. Management of huge sensitive data is no longer a hassle to users as all writing and reading to these files are encrypted and decrypted transparently. Similarly, all sensitive documents stored in the removable media will be encrypted and decrypted automatically and seamlessly when accessed. This provides great convenience as it saves authorized users the trouble of having to manually decipher each and every documents before using them.

PCs, laptops and handheld devices are most defenseless to computer crimes or data theft. This is one of the greatest concerns faced by most organizations. Studies have shown that such crimes are mainly committed by companies' own employees. A recent study by IDC showed that about 50% of all security breaches were illegally performed by internal people. This is not surprising since sensitive information stored on the hard disk or network server is opened to the entire workforce in the company. Given time and opportunity, any insider can easily steal or sabotage this information. But with SecureDisk's fully integrated PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) based authentication, you can stop worrying over issues on access control. Its powerful encryption algorithms ensure that only PKI authenticated users are authorized to access files or subfolders stored on the encrypted disk. Since it is PKI-enabled, the security strength is far more robust than those password based encryption systems and will not be easily compromised simply by adding or removing users' access. To enjoy optimum security strength, you can also have the option of achieving strong two-factor authentication by means of PKI smart cards and USB tokens which can be seamlessly integrated into the SecureDisk solution.

One significant feature of SecureDisk is its powerful and yet easy to use key management system that allows flexibility in sharing SecureDisk volumes between users. Specifically, the owner of a SecureDisk volume can choose to share the disk with any users by simply adding in or removing them from the permitted users' access list. This public disk sharing technology provides maximum flexibility for users to share and secure storage of computer files.

SecureDisk not only protects information stored in your local hard disk, it also secures all files that are stored or transferred over your enterprise network. It makes sure that files access through network remains encrypted throughout the entire transmission. Hence, you can have a peace of mind because whatever confidential information securely stored in the encrypted disk could not be tampered with even if your Network is compromised.

By using SecureDisk, most organizations are able to recover encrypted data even when an employee has lost the encryption key or after an employee has left the company. This is possible since SecureDisk is PKI-enabled. Any encrypted data can be made recoverable simply by making use of centrally managed recovery keys.

Organizations that deploy our SecureDisk solution will enjoy tremendous benefits. It reduces user's involvement as the disk encryption or decryption is done automatically and transparently. All confidential files including those deleted or temporary or backup files will remain securely encrypted. So it leaves no trail behind for those intruders to take advantage of. Since decryption is performed incrementally, it saves you on the delays of decrypting large files. In short, SecureDisk is your knight in a shining armor, protecting not only your mobile employees but also your network server from treacherous security breaches. It provides you with strong access control and encryption to protect confidential data from unauthorized access. It is the ideal solution for government bodies, banks/financial institutions or any other enterprises wanting to manage confidential information frequently.
