Protecting Legacy Systems with FDE

SECUDE International AG

Protecting your data is not only financially wise; it is often legally necessary. More companies are now implementing Full Disk Encryption (FDE) as part of a comprehensive data security program. Up until now, FDE was software-based with all the encryption algorithms processed by the computer’s CPU. But with the introduction of hard disk drives with a dedicated encryption chip, FDE has become amazingly efficient and more secure. However, as with the advent of any new technology, there is a costly legacy gap which companies must cross in order to migrate from software- to hardware-based FDE while still protecting existing computer systems. SECUDE is to date the only company that offers both hardware- and software-based FDE in one easy to install package to provide TCO savings in areas of acquisition, design & architecture, deployment, operations & maintenance. SECUDE FinallySecureTM also tightly integrates with SECUDE's entire range of security solutions, allowing a company to mix and match encryption and other security options such as file and folder encryption to provide a higher level of security.
