THE WORLD’S MOST SECURE HARDWARE-BASED ENCRYPTION. WE’RE UNDERSTANDABLY PROUD.
The Imation Stealth Processor ― which powers the Imation Defender series of USB flash and portable hard drives ― is the world’s first dedicated portable security processor for USB devices, and the first to offer FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation.
Unlike simple cryptographic flash memory controllers, the Imation Stealth Processor offers the highest data security and strongest user authentication mechanisms for government and corporate clients.
WHY HARDWARE ENCRYPTION IS SUPERIOR
Hardware encryption offers more security and portability than software-based encryption. With software encryption, the data is processed on the host computer where it can be exposed to malicious software. By contrast, hardware encryption occurs within the trusted environment of the device. Because hardware-based encryption happens on the device transparently, no software needs to be installed and the flash drive is as fully portable as a regular, unencrypted USB storage device.
