LG Electronics has launched its first DVD writer equipped with SecurDisc technology for data protection. The Super Multi Security drive has been launched in the UK and is available (internal drive) from PC World. The SecurDisc technology is licensed for use by Nero and HL Data Storage. It allows users to add layers of security to the disc including password protection, digital signatures and protection against duplication.
Password will have a minimum length of 16 characters and hope to prevent unauthorized access to the data. Each disc is encrypted with a unique identity to assure the recipient of the authenticity and integrity of the disc. Any disc with this function enabled with be protected against copying. A viewing application is required for the data.
To protect against data loss, data is duplicated in any spare space on a disc, improving chances of recovery if the disc gets damaged. "Most companies keep sensitive personal and business information in their files and on their computers, information such as names, financial details and intellectual property, but if this data falls into the wrong hands, it can lead to fraud or identity theft", said Suan Choi, product manager for LG Electronics.
Choi added: "We believe that safeguarding sensitive data is plain good business sense and with the Super Multi Security, our customers are given that extra layer of protection and confidence that their information is authentic and secure."
