CMS Products Debuts ABS-Secure 320GB Portable Data Solution

CMS Products, Inc. launched its newest data protection solution in its family of automatic backup and restore products, the ABS-Secure 320GB.

With the new ABS-Secure, users enjoy a lightweight, portable solution with 320 gigabytes (GB) of encrypted capacity for maximum data protection in Windows Vista, XP and 2000.

The ABS-Secure is the latest in the CMS Products line of external USB 2.0 encrypted disk solutions, with capacities beginning at 80GB. The unit utilizes CMS Products CE-Secure Full Disk Encryption software for complete management of the encryption environment. Weighing only seven ounces, the ABS-Secure is bus powered for transportability and is ultra-rugged with the inclusion of the CMS DataGuard shock absorbing wrapper.

The ABS-Secure is ready to use right from the box. As the entire disk is protected with AES 256-bit encryption, users can be confident that all data on the ABS-Secure is safe and can be accessed only by its rightful owner.

"The ABS-Secure represents a momentous change in basic data protection strategy, as all user involvement in what data to encrypt is removed," said Gary Streuter, Vice President of Marketing. "This is especially important to our business-class users who struggle with the need to maintain data that can be readily backed up while dealing with the increasingly complex world of regulations and litigation revolving around the loss or disclosure of critical data," he continued. "Because the ABS-Secure is completely encrypted, all data sent to the disk is automatically protected with AES 256-bit algorithms using strong pass phrase protection and "on-the-fly" disk encryption technology. This enables our users to potentially qualify for the safe-harbor exemptions provided within current regulations dealing with the requirement to disclose a breach of confidential data that might have been compromised by loss or theft."

The ABS-Secure includes CMS Products BounceBack Express Version 8.0 backup and restore software. Recently released, Express 8.0 is the successor to the earlier award-winning BounceBack software. Sporting a new, straightforward and intuitive interface, Express 8.0 is easy to install and use. With powerful new features such as Continuous Data Protection and Multi-Destination backup paths, Express 8.0 is the perfect complement for implementing data backup to the encrypted ABS-Secure.
