SecurDisc is a technology that offers a full feature set of security-related functions through a combined hardware/software solution and additionally offers encryption with password protection, digital signature, and higher data reliability through data storage redundancy and defect management.
"The recent increased need for document protection is not just a trend, and Nero is setting the standard for what end-users will come to expect in ensuring the security of their files," said Charly Lippoth, Chief Technology Officer, Nero AG. "Copy protection capability is a natural progression for our SecurDisc technology, and we are pleased to offer such a practical addition so soon after the product's initial launch."
LG has integrated SecurDisc hardware and software technology in the new LG Super Multi DVD Rewriter hard drive featuring premium security functions offering several features to protect discs at both user and storage levels. Consumers can easily identify SecurDisc-certified drives by the unique SecurDisc logo that will appear on each piece of certified hardware. This logo ensures compatibility with SecurDisc software as well as the security of user files.
"In choosing to develop and create SecurDisc drives, we took into consideration the growth potential of the security market," said Y.K Cho, Vice President of IT Marketing Team, LG Electronics, Inc.
