Overland-Tandberg RDX Removable Disk System complies to FIPS 140-2 standard
Highest Security certification for rdx PowerEncrypt
Overland-Tandberg has received
the FIPS 140-2 validation for
rdx PowerEncrypt hardware-based encryption technology for its RDX removable disk systems. FIPS is a government security
standard and ensures that IT products fulfill highest standards in confidentiality, data integrity and security.
FIPS 140-2 validated encryption is available for free in all
RDX SATA III drives and works with all RDX media available. FIPS sets the benchmark for
encryption and related security requirements for IT products to be trustable for confidential use. For receiving the FIPS 140-2 validation a product
has to proof compliance to security standards in design and implementation. The compliance is tested and formally validated by one of the laboratories
accredited by the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).
FIPS 140-2 compliance has been widely adopted around the world as a practical security benchmark and realistic best practice. The standard ensures
that a product uses solid security practices, such as approved high-level encryption algorithms and procedures with role-based authentication. Beyond
that it has to assure that physical abuse can be detected by using physical locks or tamper-resistant seals.
„Regulations for governmental organizations and businesses increasingly demand that stored information has to be encrypted because it is vulnerable
to theft, exchange or loss. The FIPS 140-2 validation for RDX SATA III has proven that encrypted data on RDX Media to be safe, efficient and is a solid
means of protection.“, said Hugo Bergmann, Product Line Director for RDX at Overland-Tandberg.
With the introduction of rdx PowerEncrypt for QuikStor SATA III drives Overland Tandberg responded to these growing demands for audit-proof data
protection and archiving in a variety of industries.
RDX PowerEncrypt uses Hardware-based 256-bit AES XTS encryption that offers a row of advantages in comparison to Software-based technologies. It is
easier to handle, does not burden processor performance, and does not conflict with operating systems, applications, and other software releases. The
RDX PowerEncrypt management via the RDX Manager supports up to 8 users with different right and access profiles, offers automatic drive identification
and analyses the level of password security during setup. Furthermore it limits the password entries to one password per second. This implementation
protects your data on RDX from decryption or hacking with future supercomputing, quantum computer processing power.
