Founded in 1979 by Richard J. Egan and Roger Marino, EMC has developed advanced storage and retrieval technologies for the world's largest companies. , has certified through the RSA Secured Partner Program that Utimaco's SafeGuard Easy solution for hard disk encryption Disk encryption is a special case of data at rest protection when the storage media is a sector-addressable device (e.g., a hard disk or a flash card). Disk encryption has many facets: Achieving technical interoperability with these products from Utimaco and RSA helps to maximize data protection by applying the principle of "something you have, and something you know". In this manner, only someone with a PIN that unlocks the key stored on the RSA SecurID SID800 hardware authenticator can access the computer and the data protected by SafeGuard Solutions. The two companies worked closely together within the framework of their technology partnership to provide an effective and certified joint solution to customers. With the joint solution it will be possible to use the proven two-factor authentication The use of two independent mechanisms for authentication; for example, requiring a smart card and a password. The combination is less likely to allow abuse than either component alone.
