CMS Announces 1TB Opal External SED
1888 Press Release - CMS announces high capacity
1TB Self Encrypting Drives (SED) built to Opal
2.0 industry standard. Aliso Viejo, CA. - CMS
Products, Inc. today announced the availability
of 1TB external self-encrypting drive (SED) that
meets the rigorous Opal 2.0 industry standard. CE
Secure DiskVault is available with government
grade, NIST certified, FIPS 140-2 level-2
encryption, delivered in three configurations,
management ready, managed and traveler for
self-managed users. "As businesses look to
external drives for additional storage, it's
important for data to be secured," said Ken
Burke, President, CMS Products, Inc. "External
SEDs are often used to store sensitive
information, creating an even stronger need for
industry-standard encryption. By encrypting the
drive itself, customers can protect their data
from intruders." The Opal standard was created by
the Trusted Computing Group, a consortium of more
than 100 companies that collectively develop,
define and promote vendor-neutral security
standards. The standard is designed to ensure
interoperability across vendors, technologies and
platforms.
As enterprises move mission-critical data between
appliances, they must also consider legal and
compliance regulations in their respective
industries. Many organizations transferring data
are required by law to be in compliance with data
protection standards both internally (on a
computer) and externally (on an external hard
drive). CMS's new external SED helps ensure that
companies meet regulations like HIPAA,
Sarbanes-Oxley and more.

DiskVault can address many of the security
concerns businesses and consumers share. We're
