WinMagic Expands Relationship With Seagate
11/11/2008
WinMagic(R) today announced that it is continuing and expanding
its relationship with Seagate to deliver integrated endpoint encryption solutions which leverage the Seagate Momentus(R) FDE hard drives. WinMagic's
SecureDoc data protection software is integrated with Seagate's
Momentus 7200 FDE drives (in addition to the 5400 FDE drives, which
have been integrated since mid-2008).
ebizQ received the following:
The Seagate(R) Momentus(R) 7200 FDE drives provide up to 320 GB of
secure digital storage using Seagate SecureT technology for strong,
'always-on' and fully automated hardware-based full-disk encryption -
when this is extended by software applications like SecureDoc from
WinMagic, the result is an enterprise-class solution that helps
organizations to protect sensitive data and comply with privacy and
data breach legislation. SecureDoc provides enterprise manageability,
audit trails/reporting, removable media encryption, key management and
multi-factor authentication to enhance and complement the power of the
Seagate Momentus FDE hard drives.
Seagate Secure represents an easy and effective way to deliver a high
level of security for digital information. Hard drives featuring
Seagate Secure technology combine capacity, reliability and
comprehensive security capabilities to provide powerful data
protection. In achieving this certification, WinMagic has proven that
its robust applications can manage security functions and interoperate
with secure storage on the Seagate Momentus drives.

WinMagic's SecureDoc Enterprise solutions support the use of Momentus
FDE drives even in mixed environments. This ability allows IT
departments to incrementally roll out the Seagate drives as part of
the standard refresh plan - aiding compliance with legislation and
audit requirements today while 'future-proofing' the solution by
including the advanced hardware encryption technology from Seagate.
"The deployment of laptop encryption across an enterprise or
government organization can present many challenges," said Michel
Nerrant a VP at WinMagic. "Integration with the Seagate Secure
platform and drives like Momentus enables organizations to accelerate
deployments in a consistent and predictable manner," continued
Nerrant. "SecureDoc already provides a highly secure and powerful
solution for the protection of data-at-rest, and together with
Seagate, we make it even easier for organizations to protect their
data."
"We are pleased to build our security product portfolio with
WinMagic," said Tom Major, vice president of Personal Compute Business
at Seagate. "WinMagic's solution enables organizations to seamlessly
introduce Seagate Secure encrypting hard drives into legacy software
encryption environments."
