Nieuwe externe harde schijf en multimedia fotolijst van Toshiba!

PERSBERICHT Toshiba presenteert harde schijf met valsensor en biometrische authenticatie SecuRed biedt 200 GB opslagruimte in stijlvolle, compacte rode behuizing Breda, 6 mei 2008 – Toshiba Information Systems Benelux, leverancier van portable computers en toebehoren, breidt zijn serie 2,5-inch opslagoplossingen uit met een nieuwe, extra robuuste externe USB 2.0-harde schijf. Deze SecuRed, bedoeld voor zowel zakelijke gebruikers als consumenten, beschikt over een 200 GB ingebouwde schijf die beschermd is met een valsensor en een spatwaterdichte behuizing. Uitgerust met een vingerafdruklezer, wachtwoordbeveiliging en harde-schijfencryptie biedt het product geavanceerde beveiligingsfuncties in een stijlvol, compact, lichtgewicht rood omhulsel. De SecuRed is in het tweede kwartaal van 2008 beschikbaar. “Met de toenemende behoefte aan de opslag van professionele of persoonlijke gegevens worden ook draagbare back-upoplossingen steeds belangrijker,” zegt Jeffrey Willis, General Manager Toshiba Information Systems Benelux. “Beveiliging is cruciaal bij het opslaan van belangrijke gegevens op externe harde schijven – vandaar dat wij er zo veel aandacht aan hebben besteed. De dataopslagcapaciteit van 200 GB in combinatie met de ultramoderne beveiligingsfuncties, ondergebracht in en stijlvol, compact, lichtgewicht apparaat, maakt de SecuRed uniek in de markt.” De nieuwe harde schijf wordt geleverd met een pakket intelligente beveiligingsfuncties. Zo beschikt de SecuRed naast een spatwaterdichte behuizing ook over een geïntegreerde valsensor. Wanneer deze sensor een vrije val, schok of trilling – in welke richting dan ook – opmerkt, haalt hij de lees/schrijfkop snel tussen de schijven vandaan om mogelijke schade te voorkomen en kostbare gegevens te beschermen. Na het incident kan de gebruiker opnieuw inloggen en alle informatie zonder problemen weer benaderen. Behalve aan de bescherming tegen invloeden van buiten hecht Toshiba ook veel waarde aan de beveiliging van opgeslagen gegevens tegen ongeautoriseerd gebruik. Dankzij de geïntegreerde vingerafdruklezer heeft alleen degene die geautoriseerd is toegang tot de opgeslagen gegevens en bestanden. Wachtwoordauthenticatie, gebaseerd op een sterk AES 256-bit algoritme en een embedded-softwaresysteem dat harde-schijfencryptie ondersteunt, maakt bijzonder krachtige databeveiliging mogelijk. Ter vergroting van het gebruiksgemak ondersteunt de SecuRed het draagbare besturingssysteem Nomad en de Redemption Software V2: een uitstekende back-upoplossing met een eenvoudige gebruikersinterface. De harde schijf is geïntegreerd in een rood-zwartgekleurde behuizing met een blauw verlichte aan/uit-lichtstrip als extra blikvanger. De SecuRed is een aantrekkelijk accessoire voor iedere laptop of desktop-pc. Met zijn lengte van 13 cm, breedte van 18,5 cm en dikte van 1,9 cm neemt de schijf bovendien weinig ruimte in beslag in een draagtas of op het bureaublad. PERSBERICHT Toshiba introduceert digitale fotolijst met multimediafuncties Elegante 8-inch Gigaframe Q8 geeft zowel foto’s als video’s en muziek weer Breda, 6 mei 2008 – Toshiba Information Systems Benelux, leverancier van portable computers en toebehoren, versterkt zijn portfolio digitale fotolijsten met de introductie van de Gigaframe Q8 voorzien van 8-inch scherm. Deze digitale fotolijst biedt een uitgebreide multimedia-ervaring door niet alleen digitale foto’s, maar ook videoclips en muziek weer te geven. De Gigaframe Q8 is, naar verwachting, in het tweede kwartaal van 2008 beschikbaar. “Nu digitale content, zoals foto’s video’s en muziek, steeds populairder wordt, bestaat er behoefte aan aantrekkelijke apparatuur om deze weer te geven, zowel thuis als op het werk,” zegt Jeffrey Willis, General Manager Toshiba Information Systems Benelux. “De lancering van dit geavanceerde, eigentijdse accessoire past binnen Toshiba’s streven om consumenten een aangename multimediabelevenis te bezorgen.” Met de Gigaframe Q8 kunnen gebruikers eenvoudig hun digitale content tonen en delen, zelfs in slideshow-modus: met zijn beeldverhouding van 4:3 is de nieuwe digitale fotolijst perfect afgestemd op het formaat van de meeste digitale foto’s. De resolutie van 800 x 600 pixels staat borg voor heldere, schitterende foto’s. En dankzij zijn twee geïntegreerde stereoluidsprekers (2 x 0,5 Watt) kan de fotolijst zelfs als mp3-speler gebruikt worden. Aanraakgevoelige on-screen knoppen met blauwe ledverlichting geven toegang tot extra toepassingen, zoals scherminstellingen, kalender en klok. De Gigaframe Q8 beschikt over een geïntegreerd 128 MB flashgeheugen om digitale content op te slaan, maar ondersteunt ook geheugenkaarten als SD, MMC, MS en xD. Essentiële onderdelen als een verstelbare standaard, een USB 2.0-kabel, een AC/DC-adapter en een verkorte gebruikershandleiding worden standaard meegeleverd. Einde persbericht.

Malware-overzicht april 2008 van ESET

mei 5, 2008
Read this doc on Scribd: ESET malware toptien april
Meer malware voor gamers en niet-internetters in april Sliedrecht, 5 mei 2008 – In de maandelijkse top tien van bedreigingen van het wereldwijde inventarisatienetwerk van ESET, ThreatSense.Net, blijkt ook deze maand dat malware niet noodzakelijk aan internet is verbonden. De belangrijkste bedreiging was wederom INF/Autorun, die misbruik maakt van de automatische opstartfunctie bij het gebruik van verwisselbare media. De tweede plek is voor een wachtwoordsteler die zich specifiek richt op online gamers. Er wordt vaak verondersteld dat malware zich alleen via internet verspreidt. De maandenlange nummer één positie van INF/Autorun bewijst het tegendeel. Virussen die zich op de automatische opstartfunctie richten, kunnen zich via media als usb-sticks of mp3-spelers razendsnel verspreiden. Online gamers populaire doelgroep Op plaats twee staat Win32/PSW.OnLineGames. Deze trojan heeft enkele maanden geleden al eens in de top 10 gestaan, maar is nu terug. De wachtwoordsteler maakt een sprong van plaats 16. Nienke Ryan, product en strategie manager bij SpicyLemon, distributeur van onder andere de ESET beveiligingsproducten: “Veel mensen denken dat ze geen anitvirus-software nodig hebben als ze weinig gebruikmaken van internet. De nadrukkelijke aanwezigheid van INF/Autorun laat echter zien dat ze dat mis hebben. Malware verspreidt zich ook offline. Het is dus van belang een up-to-date scanner te gebruiken en de automatische afspeelfunctie uit te schakelen.” De top tien van april ziet er als volgt uit: 1. INF/Autorun – 7,75% 2. Win32/PSW/OnLineGames – 6,20% 3. Win32/Adware.Virtumonde – 3,58% 4. Win32/Virtumonde.FP – 2,93% 5. Win32/Adware.SearchAid – 2,64% 6. Win32/IRCBot.AAH – 1,63% 7. Win32/Toolbar.MyWebSearch – 1,61% 8. Win32/Pacex.Gen – 1,11% 9. JS/TrojanDownloader.Small.JS – 0,99% 10. Win32/TrojanDownloader.Agent.KGV – 0,97% ThreatSense.Net bevat zeer uitgebreide detectiestatistieken en verzamelt data van meer dan tien miljoen computersystemen van ESET-gebruikers (op anonieme basis). Het systeem inventariseert alle soorten bedreigingen waar computergebruikers mee te maken krijgen op hun systeem.
