South Korean company SmartKeeper has introduced 'Security Gender 2' and 'Security Memory 2,' new products designed to bolster information security through hardware authentication. These solutions aim to prevent data leaks by restricting the use of storage devices to specifically authorized hardware, thereby integrating physical security measures with robust data protection.
The 'Security Memory 2' functions only when connected to its dedicated security gender, significantly reducing the risk of internal data leakage even if the device is lost or stolen. The 'Security Gender 2' features proprietary internal pin-array technology that recognizes only storage devices with the same pattern. It also includes an 'anti-detachment function' that prevents unauthorized removal when a USB port lock is activated, effectively controlling the unauthorized export of data.
The demand for solutions that provide both physical security and data protection simultaneously is increasing.
SmartKeeper highlights the convenience of its system, which replaces complex password settings or separate key management software with a simple physical gender connection for authentication. This approach simplifies asset management processes by allowing intuitive control over approved media within a company. "The demand for solutions that provide both physical security and data protection simultaneously is increasing," a SmartKeeper representative stated. "These new products will contribute not only to preventing security incidents but also to improving the efficiency of enterprise storage device management."
The 'Security Memory 2' utilizes genuine TF memory from Samsung and SanDisk for enhanced reliability and supports capacities up to 2TB. SmartKeeper plans to expand its supply to meet the diverse needs of various industrial sectors.
These new products will contribute not only to preventing security incidents but also to improving the efficiency of enterprise storage device management.
