Secure-K is a new Operating System Enclosed in a USB Drive with double encryption: everything you need to protect your network data like a security expert.
Brought to you by Mon-K — which is pronounced just like “monkey,” to invoke that feeling of security that primates naturally give off — the Secure-K is an encrypted operating system enclosed in a USB stick that the company says will allow users to protect their data without sacrificing ease of use. It includes Secure-Mail, Secure-Chat and Secure-Web to encrypted email, chats, on-line calls and anonymous Internet navigation. The Secure-K is fitted with a pin-pad on the front which is needed to activate the OS, and Mon-K says the drive can be securely used on just about any computer without additional software.
In case of theft or loss, after 10 tries to insert your PIN, the data on your Secure-K become unreadable. In order to keep all your saved data secure and recover it, Mon-K has inserted a “Backup and Recovery” encryption system: DigitalArx, a Cloud Computing solution with high security standards and data encryption that not even the administrators are able to unlock. DigitalArx also allows information to be shared and synchronized.
“We all have grown up knowing that the data on the Internet are not secure. Where and in whose hands they end up remains a mystery. It is certain, however, that for some entities they are worth a lot,” declares Paolo Ferrari, Co-founder of Mon-K. “Secure-K has been designed to make our lives easier and to transform us into security experts. Having a Secure-K Personal Edition means having direct control of your data, also those transmitted via the Internet, and to protect your privacy like a real security expert would”.
We’ll have to wait until October to find out if the Secure-K is everything Mon-K says it is. Mon-K says there will be personal and enterprise editions available in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB variations when it launches, but the company has note announced pricing yet.
