SECUDE Announces New Customer Win as Kronos Incorporated Launches Laptop Security Solution

Kronos Incorporated launches laptop security solution from SECUDE and Seagate.
 
Nov. 10, 2008 - PRLog -- Zurich, Switzerland  – SECUDE, a security software industry leader, announced today that Kronos Incorporated, the leading workforce management software company, is deploying SECUDE’s FinallySecure Enterprise Software, a fully managed data security solution featuring Seagate’s Momentus® FDE (Full Disk Encryption) hard drives for notebook computers.  The centrally managed solution from SECUDE and Seagate Technology® offered the most secure and manageable solution to meet Kronos’ global needs.

According to Richard Goetz, Corporate Security Officer at Kronos, "The system from SECUDE offers a highly secure software encryption capability. Integration with the Seagate® Momentus FDE hard drive enables encryption at the firmware level.  SECUDE allows us to roll out a company-wide, software-only FDE solution as we transition into a fully managed data protection solution with hardware-based Full Disk Encryption. The same Pre-Boot Authentication and management technology is used to manage both the software and firmware encryption solutions. This enabled us to quickly deploy encryption without replacing hardware or having to purchase new software licenses once we decided to deploy the Seagate drives.”

Kronos’ selection of the combined solution is part of the company’s objective to deploy leading-edge technology to provide ever-higher levels of security.  

As Goetz says, “Strong, transparent security allows us to secure our data and to efficiently and securely take care of our customers around the globe.”

According to Tristan Kromer, Vice President of Data Protection at SECUDE, "The Kronos implementation is an excellent example of how a company can first secure its legacy systems with the FinallySecure Enterprise software solution while providing a clear migration path to hardware based full disk encryption for the entire enterprise.”

“More and more sensitive personal and business information is ending up on mobile PCs as the rapid spread of laptop use worldwide continues,” said Dan Good, vice president of Personal Computer Security Products at Seagate. “Seagate Technology is teaming with SECUDE and other Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to deliver powerful security that protects notebook data where it lives – on the drive – for organizations of all sizes.”

About the Seagate Secure Notebook Disk Drives
Compliance with data security and privacy legislation has become a priority for many organizations, making the safeguarding of digital assets a fundamental requirement.
Seagate Momentus FDE, a line self-encrypting hard drives, offers high-performance full disk encryption in capacities of up to 320GB.  Momentus FDE hard drives deliver new levels of simplicity, transparency and performance for securing all data on the drive, not just selected partitions or files. Since the encryption key never leaves the drive, it is not subject to the latest hacker attacks such as the Princeton Cold Boot hack.  The security of this solution is always on and transparent to the user with no performance degradation. The drives enable secure repurposing or disposal instantly and with Secude technology can be centrally managed.
