Tactronics Integrates SDV
Media Release
12th April 2010
Tactronics Australasia has opted to integrate Secure Systems’ Silicon Data Vault (SDV) secure data storage technology to protect data generated and used by the Tactronics’ TAC-SINe system. The SDV provides hardware-based encryption and access controls to enforce strong data protection.
Tim Marshall, Managing Director, Tactronics Australasia said “The sophisticated TAC-SINe C4ISR [Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance] system enables a Defence force to extend its network centric capability into a combat zone. Until now data stored on the TAC-SINe hard disk drives (HDDs) was only physically secured, requiring the commander to order the removal of the HDDs if the vehicle had to be abandoned. Utilising the SDV within the TAC-SINe, total data security is achieved.”
“Using the SDV technology a user friendly and innovative solution was developed for the TAC-SINe C4ISR system” said Peter James, Managing Director of Secure Systems. “We tailored our Embedded SDV product, a secure 2.5” compatible HDD designed for embedded systems, to integrate seamlessly into the TAC-SINe system. We developed a solution that ensures a commander can, if necessary, abandon sensitive data in the combat zone with the assurance that the data is encrypted and inaccessible to hostile forces” he added.
