Applied Security applies security to drives

New solution from Applied can limit data loss

Applied Security has launched a new file and encryption system for enterprises.

Announcing the system the firm said that fideAS could protect, secure, and encrypt files and folders on disk drives, USB sticks and other storage media, protecting them from theft, leakage, and manipulation.

The solution was launched in the wake of numerous data handling problems, not least of all the HMRC debacle. Announcing it Applied Security's chief executive said, "Recent high profile date loss incidents from the HMRC and Royal Navy to TKMaxx, and Marks and Spencer, could all have been avoided if files had been encrypted,"
