The industry-first solution delivers improved performance versus software based encryption and automated compliance reports so customers are confident that encryption is enabled. The new data security offering is an easy-to-use and scalable solution that enables comprehensive data protection and automated compliance auditing for lost, stolen or recycled notebooks.

The combination of Seagate Momentus full disk encryption (FDE) hard drive and Wave Systems Corp. EMBASSY solutions provides a number of advantages over software-based encryption, including stronger security, faster performance and always-on encryption.

Customers can securely manage encrypted drives, setup and recover passwords, user management and pre-boot authentication by using Wave's EMBASSY Trust Suite for Dell 3.0 Enterprise software and Embassy Remote Administration Server that allows IT departments to quickly document that all data on a lost notebook was safely encrypted by the HDD.

The first models to incorporate new technology are Latitude D630 and D830 available from today.
