High Density Devices

With today’s mobile workforce storing sensitive, financial, personal, corporate proprietary, and/or medical data on increasingly smaller storage devices and moving these from location to location, e.g. from office to home office, protection of all data stored is of vital importance. As the majority of data stored on external storage media and on laptops remains unprotected, the loss or theft of this data could have devastating financial consequences for an organization, as well as damage market reputation and value beyond repair. With the portfolio of [hiddn]™ products, Softek and HDD are confident the UK market will finally have been presented a versatile and highly secure tool for preventing such dramatic damages.

”By offering certified and patented encryption technology for protection of all data stored, the flexible and cost-effective [hiddn]™ products represent a new dimension to our extensive and versatile portfolio of security solutions”, Technical Director of Softek, Mike Bienvenu, says, continuing ”and we are very excited to be the first UK distributor to introduce this to the UK market.”

With its portfolio of FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and Common Criteria EAL4+ certified products, in addition to its approval for protection of data classified NATO RESTRICTED, [hiddn]™ caters for any data protection need!

One example, is the newly released [hiddn]™ Crypto Adapter which provides encryption of any USB-connected storage media, supporting any media capacity, making it a perfect solution for encryption of both memory sticks and external hard drives for backup purposes. The Crypto Adapter is just one of many [hiddn]™ products providing robust and accredited  solutions for data protection on laptops, desktops, external hard drives, memory sticks, server environments, as well as for specially designed solutions, such as CCTV footage and UAV units.

 HDD CEO, Mr. Olav Stokke, announced that “We are very satisfied with the distribution agreement with Softek; a corporation renowned for its quality service and delivery, as well as its in-depth knowledge on the data protection market. Softek is the ideal partner for HDD, with its extended reach in the marketplace, and we are confident that Softek is the right partner for introducing our [hiddn]™ Hardware Encryption to the UK marketplace.”
