According to the U.S. Commerce department, IP theft costs U.S. businesses about $250 billion each year. Many stories in the news have described stolen storage devices like hard-disk drives containing sensitive data. These devices are rarely recovered, and the data is put to malicious use. And they've been stolen from the military, government research facilities, and large corporations.
If you're not careful, your IP or sensitive data could be next. To address
these issues, SiliconSystems' SiliconDrive Secure family provides a simple yet
robust storage technology with customizable security and fast data sanitization
(see the figure). SiliconDrive Secure may
be configured so critical data and IP is associated with a specific SiliconDrive
Secure device. SiliconDrive Secure also helps you:
Use host-based industry-standard encryption, such as 128-bit AES, or implement
custom key-based encryption to best suit your needs
Prevent malicious attempts to overwrite data and prevent unauthorized access
Erase and sanitize sensitive data automatically in the event of attempted
device access using a different host in as few as a few seconds per gigabyte
Designate up to five "security zones" with varying read/write access, the
option to password-protect each zone, and the option to erase only, erase
and destroy data, or erase and then program a pattern of meaningless data.
SiliconDrive Secure is available on flash cards and small hard-disk drives. The capacity ranges from 32 Mbytes to 16 Gbytes. A 1-Gbyte compact flash device is priced at $100 in quantities of 5000.
