| FinallySecure - Full Disk Encryption
All over the world notebooks worth over one billion Euros/Dollars are stolen each year. Hereby the value of the stolen information significantly exceeds the value of the hardware. Companies require maximum protection, so that even after theft, the hardware of their data remains reliably protected from unauthorized access. |

| Don't Panic - Cold Boot Reality Check
A paper recently published by Princeton University challenges the assumption that DRAM, the location where encryptions keys are retained in memory, is erased upon powering down a laptop. Since Full Disk Encryption (FDE) is intended as Data-at-Rest (DAR) or power-off protection against data theft, this paper has immediately generated a lot of speculation as to whether or not Full Disk or other forms of encryption are broken beyond repair. |

| Closing The Legacy Gap
There is a costly legacy gap which companies must cross in order to migrate from software- to hardware-based FDE while still protecting existing computer systems. SECUDE is to date the only company that offers both hardware- and software-based FDE in one easy to install package to provide TCO savings in areas of acquisition, design & architecture, deployment, operations & maintenance. |

| No Open Doors. No Open Windows.
Full Disk Encryption (FDE) has been hailed as the final word in Data-at-Rest (DAR) security by many in the industry, but some fail to recognize that encryption is only as secure as the authentication used to access it. Encryption without strong authentication is like locking your door and then leaving the key in the lock while you walk away. Leaving authentication to your operating system is one step better, but only gives you the security of hiding the key under your doormat. |
