MXI unveils Stealth HD series

Wednesday, May 12, 2010

MXI Security, a provider of encrypted USB and biometric USB drive devices, introduced its Stealth HD Series of encrypted USB hard drives.

Replacing the Outbacker MXP Series, the Stealth HD Series is powered by MXI Security’s Bluefly Portable Security Processor. Bluefly recently received FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation.

The Bluefly Portable Security Processor offers security in any environment, foreign or familiar. Bluefly’s anti-malware features, including its read-only mode of operation, protect the Stealth HD Series attackers. With the optional ACCESS Antivirus Scanner, user data and host systems are shielded from all forms of malware.


More versatile and secure than standard USB devices, the Stealth HD and Stealth HD Bio are suited for government agencies and organizations that require high-capacity secure storage for portable data or even Secure USB Desktop. The Stealth HD features AES 256-bit transparent hardware encryption for up to 500GB of user data, with the Stealth HD Bio adding strong biometric and password multi-factor authentication.

The entire Stealth HD product line also offers digital identity and PKI token services ranging from RSA SecurID and OATH OTP to on-board key generation, digital signatures, and secure key and certificate containers. [end]
