SED Protect – The Drive Trust Alliance

Protect your Self-Encrypting Drive against attack

The increasing popularity of solid state drives for Windows laptops, desktops, and servers carries a hidden threat if the drive is a Self-Encrypting Drive that has not been properly configured to prevent ransomware attacks and denial of service attacks

If you are hit by one of these attacks, your only option is to set the drive back to factory state and lose all the data, or to pay the ransom to have the attacker get your data back

SED Protect is a lightweight software application that detects if you have a vulnerable configuration and quickly lets you set up a control password that immunizes the drive against these ransomware and denial of service attacks

SED Protect does not lock your drive, but prevents an attacker from locking it
