Using Lock & Key, organisations can enhance their security strategies by requiring a second factor of authentication for storage administrators to gain access to storage systems. By using their access credentials and an encrypted, tamper-resistant, industry-leading IronKey™ secure storage device,administrators will be able to access a secure management user interface for one or more of Imation’s Nexsan Assureon storage systems no matter where they are. Lock & Key solutions are easily deployed in plug-and-play fashion, and can be centrally controlled and administered by anyone in an organisation’s IT team who has the required access privileges.
“The vast majority of organisations today operate with just one access point to their secure management user interfaces. As today’s workforce becomes more mobile, this increasingly exposes them to the risk of their data being illegally accessed, destroyed or stolen,” said Ian Williams, group president for Imation’s Tiered Storage and Security organisation. “Lock & Key provides organisations with critical data security tools that require two-factor authentication – and is a comprehensive and innovative framework in Imation’s Secure Data Movement Architecture (SDMA™) to help safeguard and protect their most important information assets anywhere and anytime.”
