SecureData BitLocker Key Security Solution Including Hardware Encrypted SecureUSB Flash Drives Bundled With ClevX USBtoCloud Backup Software

SecureData, Inc. has announced a BitLocker Key security solution for small businesses and enterprises that use BitLocker to secure the data on their organization’s computers.

The company’s hardware encrypted SecureUSB flash drives bundled with ClevX LLC‘s USBtoCloud backup software protects BitLocker keys and provides security and reliability to mitigate known vulnerabilities.

BitLocker is a Microsoft Corp.‘s encryption feature included in Windows 10 and some earlier Windows versions. This feature is deployed on an organization’s computer to protect corporate data, and the SecureUSBs are the next step in adding security for an organization’s BitLocker start-up and Recovery Key.

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM), start-up Key, password, or combination thereof is needed to protect a computer with BitLocker. Due to known TPM vulnerabilities, researchers have suggested that using a secure USB drive to store start-up and/or Recovery keys offline is the safest approach. The SecureUSB products protect these keys so only an authorized user can access it, and securely backup a Recovery Key in the event the original key is lost or damaged.

“SecureUSB provides the ultimate security for Bitlocker start-up and Recovery keys. Since the USB drive is not part of any specific system and requires Pre-Boot user authentication, the known vulnerabilities associated with accessing the keys via TMP modules such as cold boot attack, keylogging, and sniffing are eliminated,” said Sergey Gulyayev, COO, SecureData.

SecureUSB products are FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated and are OS/Host independent to work across all systems with a USB port. They offer 2 user-authentication methods either through PIN entry on a wear-resistant keypad or secure wireless authentication via mobile app (Android/iOS) using password or biometrics. They also have brute force anti-hacking technology to securely erase all data and credentials after 10 consecutive failed PIN entries.

These hardware encrypted storage drives, bundled with USBtoCloud software improves BitLocker security and reliability as the start-up or Recovery key is kept securely offline on a hardware encrypted drive and backed up to a cloud (11 top global clouds+NAS supported).

Additionally, an IT manager or other corporate user can store an unlimited number of keys on the SecureUSB, making BitLocker deployment on multiple computers easier to manage.

The SecureUSB products are manufactured by the company and use patented DataLock technology licensed from ClevX, LLC.
