GreenTec-USA WORMdisk Protects HDDs and Master Boot Record From Cyber Attacks

The WORMdisk from GreenTec-USA, Inc. is an technology that computer systems and data from intentional or accidental data deletion and modification wherever data protection is required.

Typical applications include medical, legal and financial records, secure video surveillance, law enforcement, compliance reporting, audit logs, records retention, web site protection and other tamper-proof storage requirements.

WORMdisk (Write Once Read Many) in conjunction with Seagate provides defense and protection against malicious cyber-attacks such as that inflicted upon Sony and other organizations. The WORMdisk is available in both 2.5″ and 3.5″ media with various capacities ranging from 500GB up to multiple petabytes.

The WORMdisk protects the Master Boot Record (MBR) and disk partition information so viruses cannot overwrite the MBR thereby preventing damage from cyber-attacks and keeping systems bootable. WORMdisks provide permanent data protection thereby preventing data modification, deletion of files and data content along with protection against disk re-formatting.

WORMdisks are easy to use and support standard SATA, eSATA and USB interfaces. Standard OSs and file systems are supported with native format files so applications can directly create and retrieve data stored on WORMdisks. Its look like a typical disk to the OS and data is stored and retrieved through normal functions like drag-and-drop, save-as and copy. Cloud-based WORMdisks are available with the ability to map user data to an individual disk so it can be removed for transport or long-term archival storage and later mounted on-line by user request.

The WORMdisk has potential to neutralize many of the cyber-attacks occurring today and minimize damage that has caused expensive outages and embarrassment for many organizations recently. Based on what is happening in the world today, federal agencies, utility companies and commercial organizations should utilize the WORMdisk capabilities available to strengthen national defense against hostile actors.
