Protect Your Data During the Holiday Season

During the holiday travel and shopping season, the risk of losing laptops, USB drives, and other devices increases significantly. IT professionals brace for lost devices during the holidays, which can lead to security vulnerabilities. Data theft from lost or stolen devices can expose sensitive personal or business information, leading to severe consequences. Fortunately, Opal Lock by Fidelity Height offers cutting-edge protection to secure your data even if your device is physically lost or stolen.

The Risk: Data Theft from Lost or Stolen Devices

Traveling and shopping frequently during the holidays raises the likelihood of losing devices containing confidential data. A misplaced laptop or USB drive can become a treasure trove for cybercriminals, potentially exposing private files, personal records, and business information.

The Solution: Hardware-Based Encryption

Opal Lock leverages built-in Opal Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology to provide unmatched data protection through hardware-based encryption. This encryption remains active even if the drive is removed from the device, making it impossible to access without proper authentication.

How Does Opal Lock Keep Your Data Secure?

Advanced Drive Encryption: Opal Lock supports complete hardware-based encryption, ensuring your data remains secure at all times. Even if your device falls into the wrong hands, the encrypted data remains inaccessible.

Pre-Boot OS Environment: Opal Lock Standard and Premium include a pre-boot OS environment, allowing users to unlock encrypted drives securely before the operating system boots. This feature ensures that even the boot drive is protected from unauthorized access.

Multi-Device Management: With Opal Lock Premium, you can manage multiple drives effortlessly, creating secure passwords and assigning limited-access credentials. This setup streamlines data management while maintaining top-tier security.

USB Password Authentication: Save your password securely on a USB drive for added convenience and protection. Use the USB as a key to unlock encrypted drives, simplifying the authentication process.

Data Sanitization and Audit Logs: Opal Lock also supports secure data erasure with sanitization certificates, ensuring safe disposal of sensitive data. Additionally, you can view audit logs for monitoring drive activity and access attempts.

Data security should never be compromised, especially during the holiday season. With Opal Lock’s advanced encryption and secure management features, you can travel and shop with confidence, knowing your data is protected – even if your device is lost or stolen.
