iQBio, Inc. Launches the 100GB Portable iQBioDrive The BioCert Fingerprint Security	By Anca Rusu, Technology Editor 14th of July 2006, 08:12 GMT Adjust text size:


iQBio, Inc., a subsidiary business unit of Artemis Solutions Group (ASG), announced today the shipping of the 100GB Portable iQBioDrive incorporating advanced BioCert fingerprint encryption and security software. "It doesn't seem like a day goes by that we don't hear about a major company, government agency or other entity 'losing' a hard drive or laptop with unencrypted data on it. It seems the best way to get your company or agency in the news these days is to breach your customers' confidence, violate the laws designed to protect consumers and lose their personally identifiable data. This epidemic of corporate stupidity, complete disregard for data security and the resulting chaos heaped upon the customers has to stop." stated James Childers, CEO of iQBio. The iQBioDrive is a 100GB Portable hard drive which is secured by 128bit AES encryption and exclusive BioCert fingerprint technology, requiring no external power supply, as it runs exclusively from USB power supplied by the host PC. The iQBioDrive Portable 100GB Hard Drive is partitioned into three "mapped drives" on Windows 2000 (SP3) or Windows XP systems. The first is a partition that is seen by the system as a read only drive and contains the BioCert Odyssey biometric encryption software, as the second partition is set at 100MB or roughly 10% of the drives capacity and is a public partition where files may be stored and used without biometric authentication such as the included anti-virus software. The third partition is the Secure Drive that can only be accessed through the use of biometric authentication or a 256 character override password. "Personal individually identifiable data is everywhere, it's available, it's valuable and in the wrong hands can be quite destructive. The devices are disposable and replaceable. The data, once it is lost, sold or stolen, is not." Childers added. The iQBioDrive is already available on the U.S. retail market at a suggested price of about $299.
