Wave Announces Comprehensive Management for Kingston's KC300 Opal
SSD Drives
LEE, MA--(Marketwired - Mar 11, 2014) - Wave Systems Corp.
(NASDAQ: WAVX) announced today it is offering full management of
Kingston Technology's line of self-encrypting solid-state drives
for stronger security and faster performance. The Kingston
SSDNow KC300 is available in a version that is compliant
with the Opal security standard from the Trusted Computing Group
(TCG) and is available in 60-, 120- and 240GB capacities.
The SSDNow KC300 is compatible with Wave's EMBASSY Remote
Administration Server and Wave Cloud 2014, the only cloud-based
management solution for self-encrypting drives (SEDs) on the
market. When paired together, Wave and Kingston deliver a powerful
tool to ensure that encryption is always on, and information is
protected.
"With the introduction of the Opal 1.0 compliant SSD, Kingston
has demonstrated its commitment to data security and performance,
giving end-users strong assurance that their sensitive data is safe
and secure at the endpoint," said Wave CEO Bill Solms.
Wave enables pre-boot authentication to the drive, automated
user enrollment, drive locking, emergency access, crypto-erase,
policy enforcement and remote management. Detailed event logs offer
independent verification that information on a drive is protected
should a device become lost or stolen -- essential for compliance
with the growing number of data protection laws and
regulations.
"With the growing popularity of solid-state drives in today's
enterprise and the need for stronger encryption, Kingston is proud
to offer a version of its top-selling KC300 SSD that is compliant
with the TCG Opal standard," said Ariel Perez, SSD Business Manager
Kingston. "We're pleased to have in Wave, a strong partner offering
companies ease of management, flexibility and the assurance their
sensitive information is always secure."
