James Bond, Maxwell Smart and even Inspector Gadget would be impressed with the Defender Collection \u2013 a new line of highly secure, portable data storage products from Imation \u2013 the world\u2019s leading digital storage manufacturer.<\/p>\n
The Defender Collection consists of flash drives, external hard drives, and optical media including a Blu-ray Disc (to be released shortly), all compliant with and offering varying levels of FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standardization) certification, providing a secure solution for classified and critical information.<\/p>\n
Truly \u2018Bond-esque\u2019 in design, the Defender F200 Biometric Flash Drive is a stand-out in the collection featuring biometric fingerprint identification, as well as password protection. FIPS 140-2, Level 3 validated, this USB stick is unique, meeting the most demanding regulatory requirements with AES 256-bit hardware encryption activated every time the USB flash drive is in use. <\/p>\n
Imation\u2019s Defender line is targeted to government, financial and healthcare industries, which are all adopting FIPS standards to secure and encrypt data at rest. <\/p>\n
Said Imation Australia\u2019s consumer business manager, Des McDaid, \u201cThe need for data security has always existed, but is continuing to grow with strong demand not only from government departments, financial services and the healthcare industry but from corporations and even consumers. <\/p>\n
\u201cStoring important as well as classified data on Flash Drives is becoming more commonplace,\u201d he said. \u201cNot only do Defender Flash Drives provide security from unauthorised users, they are designed to be water proof, dust proof and crush resistant, keeping everything from personal family documentation and irreplaceable photography secure from loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe received a letter recently from a family in Brisbane who were severely affected by the recent flooding, with their home completely covered in water. Their Imation USB Flash Drive remained in-tact with all their files recovered after it was retrieved from the filthy floodwater,\u201d said McDaid.<\/p>\n
Eight products make up the range, incorporating the Defender F50 Pivot, the F100, F150 and F200 Biometric flash drives, all available in capacities ranging from 1GB to 32GB and offering security through on-board AES 256-bit hardware encryption, authentication and manageability. (Note: 64GB capacity F100 and F150 and F200 flash drives are expected to be launched in Australia as a second stage Defender release).<\/p>\n
In addition to the flash product, Imation have launched two new external hard drives \u2013 the Defender H100 and H200 Biometric (also with fingerprint identification) each protecting up to 500GB of information housed in a distinguished rugged metal design.<\/p>\n
Completing the package is a range of optical media in CD-R, DVD-Rand soon-to-be-released BD-R. Sensitive data can be stored on the discs with easy-to-use encryption and burning application available directly on the Imation Defender Printable Optical Media.<\/p>\n
