Toshiba Debuts the World's First Self-Encrypting Drive for MFPs

Toshiba SED Will Offer Automatic Security Function to Bring New Levels of Data Protection IRVINE, CA -- Toshiba America Business Solutions, Inc. (http://business.toshiba.com), announces the debut of the world's first Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) equipped with proprietary wipe technology for multifunction printers (MFPs). This new Toshiba technology allows users to determine a range of security settings, including the invalidation of encryption keys and data invalidation when a drive is removed from its housing or connected to an unauthorized host system. "As the needs of our customers constantly evolve, Toshiba is committed to remaining at the forefront of product innovation," said Joseph Contreras, director, Product and Solutions Marketing, Toshiba America Business Solutions, Inc. "Toshiba's new SED security technology improves data security and reduces the risk of sensitive information stored on copiers and printers leaving your company. When the SED is removed or stolen from the MFP and installed into another device, the data is invalidated automatically. If the SED is returned to the MFP without being installed into another device, data will not be invalidated and is accessible."
