Security is not optional when mission-critical data is at risk.
For government security agencies the consequences of a data breach can be disastrous, threaten national security and risk lives. Imation secure flash drives and hard drives are designed to meet and even exceed the strictest government-level security and compliance requirements.
Easy-to-use, yet powerful, these FIPS 140-2 Level 3-validated solutions enable security organizations to protect network access and confidential information, safeguarding the most critical data.
PROCESSOR FEATURES MALWARE-PROOF PROTECTION OF ON-BOARD FIRMWARE AND SOFTWARE
Imation device enclosures are durable and tamper-evident, and have an integral case that makes them waterproof and dustproof. Imation devices are certified under the rigorous FIPS 140-2 standard (through NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology) and continues to lead the industry in innovation for the most secure portable storage devices for government and security agency use.
GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS IN NORTH AMERICA CAN NO LONGER IGNORE THE IMPORTANCE OF INFORMATION SECURITY.
The U.S. Office of Management and Budget made it clear in a 2006 memorandum that government departments must take action to secure sensitive information with approved information technologies. All data on mobile devices must be encrypted and remote access be permitted only with single-factor or 2-factor. The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat has also set standards on Management of Information Technology Security (MITS) that require all data on mobile devices be encrypted and that outline identification and strong authentication measures to be addressed for network access.
PURCHASING A PRODUCT THAT MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS.
Both U.S. and Canadian governments mandate that any data stored on removable storage devices, such as USB drives, must be encrypted. The encryption product must be certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2. This certification validates that a product underwent stringent testing by an accredited independent lab, earning the FIPS 140-2 certification from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Canadian Communication Security Establishment (CSE).
BALANCING THE NEED FOR MOBILITY WITH UPHOLDING SECURITY STANDARDS STARTS WITH PUTTING INTO PLACE THE SOLUTIONS THAT WILL PREVENT DATA SECURITY BREACHES.
Imation provides its government customers with greater mobility without compromising security thanks to its managed portable security solutions. Government employees can securely store sensitive information as well as their digital credentials on one portable USB device, thereby preventing both data security breaches due to lost data and unauthorized access to network resources.
Imation devices are powered by the Imation Stealth Processor which is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated. For organizations/users that require strong 2-factor or 3-factor authentication, the Imation Stealth Key M700 Bio and Imation Stealth HD Bio hard drive are the only USB devices with this level of FIPS validation that offer both password and biometric authentication. The Imation Stealth Key M-Series is offered for organizations/users that prefer a password-based secure encrypted USB flash drive.
Imation Stealth HD-embedded token services provide government departments with the ability to secure employee access to network resources within and remotely facilitate compliance with the OMB mandate and MITS standards.
