London UK, 8 December 2009 - The new SecureSave DVD from Verbatim is a recordable DVD that saves and protects files using 256-bit AES software encryption. Data can be securely stored on the disc and transported safely with the knowledge that the contents of the disc cannot be accessed illegitimately. DVDs are available in retail individually priced at £5.99 (RRP).
Over recent years, newspapers from around the world have been littered with examples of such data being mislaid or "lost in the post" and misused. Whether for professional or private use, no-one likes the thought of storing or archiving sensitive data that can be accessed by unapproved people. This can be true for many files, from financial data, new product designs, plans, legal contracts, images, lists of names and addresses - basically, anything that would be considered private or confidential.
The SecureSave DVD's 256-bit AES software encryption prevents unauthorised access of saved data through the use of a mandatory security password. Each DVD- R is capable of holding 4.5GB and the software loaded on the DVD starts automatically, making the process of encrypting the data on the DVD very easy. SecureSave DVDs also support multi-session recording, allowing up to 4.5GB of data to be written over several sessions.
"With extensive research and development from our parent company Mistubishi Chemical Group and our 40 years experience of providing data storage products that deliver both innovation and reliability, it should be no surprise that Verbatim has been the worlds number one brand in optical media.1 Our SecureSave DVD is the optimal solution for users who wish to ensure their sensitive data remains safe, should it fall in to the wrong hands" said Torsten Leye, Marketing Manager Optical at Verbatim EUMEA.
