News < Back Security : Technology : Software Development : Ecosystem of Enterprise Security Software Providers Providers Will Support Management of SanDisk Self-Encrypting Solid State Drives in Corporate Environments
SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a global leader in flash storage solutions, has announced the inaugural members of its broad ecosystem of independent software vendors (ISV) for security management. This unique ecosystem provides SanDisk customers with fully certified solutions to ease the deployment and management of the newly announced SanDisk X300s SSD, the company’s first self-encrypting SSD based on TCG Opal 2.0 specifications, within their corporate environments. SanDisk is proud to provide compatible solutions from leading ISV partners including Absolute SecureDrive, Check Point Full Disk Encryption, Microsoft BitLocker for Encrypted Hard Drive, Wave Systems EMBASSY Security Center, and WinMagic's SecureDoc.
“For today’s corporate environments, CIO angst over encryption of data on end-point devices and in the cloud hasn’t replaced worries about internal key management and interoperability among encryption products,” said Michael A. Davis, CTO of CounterTack and Informationweek contributor. “Combining a self-encrypting SSD with a compatible ecosystem of ISV solutions makes it possible to help IT leaders sustain high productivity, ensure legal compliance, and lower TCO.” SanDisk’s broad ISV partner ecosystem delivers easier data protection management in today’s multiplatform environments, as well as cloud-based manageability of self-encrypting SSDs, making them a viable option for businesses with a wide range of IT requirements and budgets. This ecosystem also allows corporations to meet many of the regulatory standards for encryption of protected employee data such as those mandated by HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI-DSS, and many state and local privacy laws. Additionally, because the X300s supports TCG Opal 2.0 and Microsoft Encrypted Hard Drive industry security standards and are supported by a broad ISV ecosystem, corporations now can easily deploy Data Loss Prevention methods to protect corporate IP, meet compliance laws, and reduce overall TCO. SanDisk’s new X300s SSD also addresses the need for high performance, increased productivity, and a better overall user experience demanded by today’s mobile workforce‹making it a 'win’ for employees, as well as IT. The drive provides hardware-level encryption for additional security without the typical detrimental impact on performance associated with software encryption. Additionally, the SanDisk X”00s SSD offers lower latency and greater read/write speeds over traditional HDDs‹delivering a noticeable improvement in system responsiveness‹and is more reliable than self-encrypting HDDs or HDDs, which can help improve total cost of ownership (TCO) by reducing downtime due to hard drive failures. "We share SanDisk’s goal to help secure the data of businesses, whether large or small, and are happy to support the SanDisk X300s SSD self-encrypting drives,” said Candace Worley, senior vice president and general manager, endpoint security at McAfee. Part of Intel Security. “Easily integrated into our McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator environment, the X”00s helps prevent exposure of sensitive data commonly found on today’s mobile and desktop PCs.” ”Deploying data at rest protection to devices has always been a challenge for customers. The encryption process can take significant time,” said Dustin Ingalls, partner group program manager, operating systems security and identity group, Microsoft. “We’re excited to see SanDisk helping customers overcome this challenge by including Encrypted Hard Drive support in SED’s like their new X”00s SSD. With this technology, Windows 8.1 customers using BitLocker will be able to achieve data encryption compliance within seconds rather than hours.” |
