PrivateDisk Product Highlights

Akoura Private Disk is a host-device only version of Akoura DataSecure. Private Disk leverages the same breakthrough information protection software as DataSecure and provides customers the same unprecedented levels of security. The Private Disk “cryptographic data store” protects information on a host device through the use of a very large encryption key and unique obfuscation technology that digitally “shreds” sensitive information saved within the “cryptographic data store”, encrypts and obfuscates the bits, and saves them on the host device drive so they are invisible except to the properly authenticated users.

Private Disk is an ideal solution for any enterprise with a mobile workforce or with critical requirements to protect sensitive or confidential information. Private Disk provides mobile workers a host-device “cryptographic data store” for easy, highly secure information protection. Increasingly mobile workforce and “virtualization” of sensitive and confidential information is a critical security issue for enterprise users. Private Disk ensures that users can store sensitive information on any mobile computing device with the strongest commercially available encryption on the market. To protect a file, a user simply “drags and drops” the file into the cryptographic data store on the desktop.

Unlike traditional encryption, Private Disk technology protects information in a way that leaves no visual or digital signature. One of the principal benefits of Private Disk is that it ensures a highly secure, anonymous, storage and archival, of sensitive or confidential information.

“Private Disk provides a secure vault for the host device”

Private Disk “cryptographic data store” can reside on a laptop, desktop, network drive, the web, or a removable media. Each “cryptographic data store” provides a catalog of protected files. Access to the “cryptographic data store” is only provided via strong authentication. Files secured within the data store are unknown to the host-device file manager. Presentation of a authenticated credentials opens the “cryptographic data store” and allows for secure access to the protected information.

Benefits

Highly Secure – An innovative combination of encryption, obfuscation technology, and strong authentication provide the highest level of host-device information protection. Protected files leave no visual or digital signature and are almost impossible to detect. The use of biometric authentication eliminates password vulnerabilities.

Reliable – Private Disk is a proven, commercially available host-device information protection software.

Unprecedented Security – Private Disk protects sensitive information independent of file type or host. Once protected, retrieval is based exclusively on strong authentication.

Easy to Use and Install – Private Disk is a simple host-device software application. Private Disk is simple to use and easy to install and deploy. The total time required to install the software application and complete the enrollment process is less than fifteen [15] minutes. Akoura’s implementation of “drag and drop” encryption is the simplest method commercially available for protecting information. Implementing Private Disk requires zero incremental network or security infrastructure. Its ease of use makes Private Disk effective in driving increased adoption rates and improving security.
