New DriveSentry Security Suite prevents viral pandemics and data loss with all-in-one solution for antivirus, encryption and data backup.

In the same way bacterial viruses such as the recent H1N1 or ‘Swine Flu’ quickly spread across the globe, computer virus attacks and data loss can equally be as widespread due to the ever increasing inter-connectivity of the world online.

Many of these cases occur simply due to the reactive nature of antivirus software coupled with poor backup procedures and management of removable media which result in loss and corruption of valuable data when infection occurs.

Today sees the launch of DriveSentry Security Suite, which is the first product of its kind to combine antivirus, data encryption and backup for both PC’s and portable storage devices such as USB memory keys and flash media.

Until today computer users have needed to purchase and setup multiple and diverse applications to prevent and protect valuable information on home computers, networked and portable storage devices. DriveSentry have addressed the complexity of multiple diverse prevention and protection applications by launching the DriveSentry Security Suite.

This totally new and unique approach to protection provides DriveSentry users with the tools required to protect against data loss and corruption from zero day attacks, something that has been previously unavailable in one solution. The DriveSentry Security Suite performs all manner of complex tasks out-of-site ensuring that the user and their data remains safe and secure. Applications such as the latest in virus protection, military strength AES 256bit encryption and secure data synchronisation/backup are now all in an easy to use package designed specifically for the home user.

“Our market research showed that most people using portable storage devices often failed to backup the data on the device and so in the unfortunate situation where they lose the device they also lost a wealth of personal data too.” said Alan Jones CEO of DriveSentry. He continued “We also recognised that the lost data could easily fall into the wrong hands, so DriveSentry has developed what we feel is the easiest method of encrypting and backing up personal data on portable storage devices. DriveSentry Security Suite is unique in that it synchronises and backs up all sensitive data each time a portable device is connected to its nominated host computer. It’s completely automated and works out the box without any complex setup or configuration“
DriveSentry, now includes protection for network drives with real-time automated database updates that happen in the background and use very little system resources.

“DriveSentry has enjoyed a rapid growth in our community since we launched our first product DriveSentry 3.0 last year. This is due to our unique lifetime licence and we now have paying customers enjoying the very best in data protection in every corner of the globe” said Mike Maurice COO “This is an exciting time for our company as we introduce a security suite of exclusive protection features that will provide our vast community the ability to purchase the tools they require to protect all their valuable and personal data.”
