Seagate Momentus arms Mobile Armor for military-grade data security

mobile20armor201

Mobile Armor provides data protection solutions for the U.S. military and other risk-averse data users. 

The military uses PCs as much or more than any organization, of course.  As you can imagine, preventing data loss, especially the “I wonder who saw it?” kinds of losses, is high on their list of requirements.   

Seagate is a part of Mobile Armor’s Full-Disk Encryption (FDE) solutions.  Seagate’s Momentus self-encrypting disk drives look and act like normal laptop drives- unless you’re an unauthorized user.   

Secure notebook PCs are becoming more and more common.  An IT guy at a bank told me last week that all of their new notebooks are secure PCs including self-encrypting drives. To him, it is a no-brainer requirement for any bank.

The secure drive is at the heart of secure PC’s, but the password management solution around it – like Mobile Armor’s – is just as important.  With industrial-strength data security like this, losing passwords is tantamount to losing the data.
