The Tech Titan T-Drive Pro comes with a powerful disinfection engine that protects and guards against malware in the device, real-time virus detection that incorporates Antibody (USB virus vaccine) and virtual private disk within the password protected drive, file synchronization and on demand scanning.

Tech Titan T-Drive Pro is being launched in Malaysia first before being rolled out across the Asia Pacific region in the coming months before its global availability in early 2013.

According to Mr. Jimmy Fong, Channel Sales Director, SEA, Kaspersky Lab, unsecured USB flash drives pose considerable risks to organizations and to individuals as the drives are among the most common ‘carriers’ of malware.“Most organizations and individuals rely heavily on USB or flash drives to move files quickly between different devices and locations as well as for the sheer portability of the medium. While it would be more secure not to use conventional flash drives, users are not changing their behavior, which makes it imperative for manufacturers to develop a more secure flash drive with a security solution, which Tech Titan in collaboration with Kaspersky Lab has done,” Mr. Fong said.

USB drives have been used as a malware attack mechanism in the past and will continue to be used knowingly or unknowingly to spread malware. Some experts have concluded that based on the spread of the Stuxnet malware that it initially infected a few computers and was spread via flash drive thereafter.

“Tech Titan T-Drive Pro combines the convenience of a flash drive with the ultimate, real-time protection for a highly secure detection, storage and transfer of files that takes up less time and is more convenient. What we are doing is nipping the problem in the bud before it can turn into a full-scale infection by providing an early intervention,” Mr. Fong added.

Tech Titan T-Drive Pro is currently available in a 6-in-1 package. The package includes an 8GB USB, USB-KAV 1 Year license, Kaspersky Internet Security 3PCs 1 Year license, free 6-month license of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Mac, Kaspersky Mobile Security and Kaspersky Tablet Security that can be installed in the respective devices.

According to Kaspersky Lab’s research, the company discovers over 125,000 new threats daily and blocked 161 million network attacks in 2011.

Tech Titan Limited’s Channel Sales Director, Mr. Eric Chow said that the company had sought out a partnership with Kaspersky Lab due to the Russian security vendor’s track record for being the first to discover and detect threats such as Stuxnet, Flame, Call & Find and the recent ‘Madi’ active cyber-espionage campaign, ahead of other antivirus vendors.

"With more organizations offering options to work from home and a growing mobile workforce as well as the storage of music and movies for entertainment on portable flash drives, a more secure device is required that will stop malware in its tracks before it can corrupt, compromise or steal important data. Tech Titan T-Drive Pro is the answer for both enterprise and individual consumers who value their digital assets. The powerful disinfection engine powered by Kaspersky Lab makes the Tech Titan T-Drive Pro suitable to be used across Windows operating systems and across devices for maximum convenience and protection,” Mr Chow said.

“According to Global Industry Analysts, Inc, the worldwide shipments of USB flash drives are forecasted to hit 568million units by 2015 and many of them are only equipped with encryption for data protection, not malware. We are introducing the first in the world USB flash drive powered by Kaspersky Lab that provides ultimate protection in the drive and the transfer of these files to other devices as well,” Mr. Chow said.

Tech Titan expects interest in the Tech Titan T-Drive Pro from corporations and individuals to be high as there is a need for more secure flash drive options and Tech Titan T-Drive Pro offers the category-defining product, first to the market.

The Tech Titan T-Drive Pro will be available at major local retail outlets from August 2, 2012 onwards, retailing at RM179 for 8GB. For enquiries please contact +603-7802 2200 or visit www.tech-titan.com for more information.

缔结新伙伴关系，Kaspersky Lab与 Tech Titan携手推介
全世界第一套便携式保全方案，彻底发挥 Kaspersky Lab之防毒性能

吉隆坡 8月 9日 讯 －网络安全内容及威胁管理方案的翘楚级开发商 Kaspersky Lab (卡巴斯基实验室)欣然宣布与业界领先的网络保全方案供应商Tech Titan Limited(泰滕恩科技有限公司) 的新建伙伴协作关系，携手推介全球第一套由 Kaspersky Lab软件坐镇的便携式 USB Anti-virus (USB防毒)方案～Tech Titan T-Drive Pro。

功能先进超凡的Tech Titan T-Drive Pro具备强大的防感染引擎，能替USB (亦称“随身碟”或“手指”) 执行防御恶意软体 (malware)的任务，同时发挥实时病毒侦测并产生病毒“抗体”的防“疫”性能；外加捍卫设备内受密码保护的虚拟私人磁碟、档案同步化和随选扫描等。Tech Titan T-Drive Pro亦标榜手提与桌上电脑既有防毒软体之间的兼容性。

Tech Titan T-Drive Pro预定在2013年初于环球面市前，先问鼎亚太区市场，因此，马来西亚属于推介此革新产品的首个市场！

Kaspersky Lab东南亚区通路销售总监方奕文透露，基于USB随身碟已沦为最普遍的恶意软体“带菌体”，使用非安全的 USB，自然会对个人及企业用户带来一定的风险。

「大多数的企业机构和个人都仰赖USB灵巧便捷、省时省事的特性，辅助电脑或数码档案的隔机转移。虽然有专家呼吁用户注重安全，不要随意使用传统的随身碟，但用户们的习惯的确不容易更改。要主动防御用户受害，随身碟的制造商就必须研发内建了保全软体的革新产品；有鉴于此，泰腾恩与 Kaspersky Lab毅然推出双方合作的防毒心血。」方先生说明。

恶意软体的衍变可谓一日千里，而往日的USB也沦为其入侵的工具，令用户在有意或无心之下散播恶意软体。一些电脑专家更指出，以最近肆虐的 Stuxnet为例，它只需先感染数台电脑，就可以迅速透过 USB随身碟扩大范围。

「Tech Titan T-Drive Pro结合了随身碟的便捷特质及最佳的实时防毒保护，能高度敏锐地侦测、储藏和转移档案，实际发挥省时省事的功能。我们的任务就在于防患于未然，在初始阶段便严密处理，以防病毒变成燎原之火。」方先生补充。

环球首度面市的Tech Titan T-Drive Pro随身碟，丰富装载了 6合1的实用配套，即 1支 8GB的USB，附带USB-KAV的1年使用执照、Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS)防毒软体(3台个人电脑)的1年使用执照，以及免费的Mac版 Kaspersky Anti-Virus的 6个月使用执照、Kaspersky Mobile Security 手机防毒软体及Kaspersky Tablet Security 平板电脑防毒软体。

Kaspersky Lab的调查结果显示，该公司旗下的软体每一天都发现超过12万5千种新病毒，并且在2011年内拦截了1亿6千1百万起的网络攻击事件。

泰滕恩科技有限公司管道销售总监周伟良表示，公司决定与Kaspersky Lab合作的主要原因，乃基于Kaspersky Lab曾率先发现、侦测『Stuxnet』、『Flame』、『Call & Fine』等恶意软体，以及新近称为『Madi』的网络间谍等威胁的辉煌记录。

「当前的企业运作，结合了越来越多在家上班或在外服务的弹性模式，而且，大部份的数码世代也乐于在灵巧的随身碟内储存钟爱的影音档案；因此，我需要更安全的随身碟，以防病毒破坏、危机或窃取重要的数据。Tech Titan T-Drive Pro随身碟可谓个人及企业用户主动保障重要数码资产的便捷方案；其强劲的防感染引擎藉由 Kaspersky Lab的防毒智慧严守关卡，可以在各版本的 Windows系统和储存设备中操作，全天候提供全面又方便的防毒保护。」周先生说明。

「(美国)《环球工业分析》的调查显示，USB随身碟的出货量预计在 2015年时会冲破 5亿6千8百万支( )的惊人记录，而坊间产品大多数只具备保护数据的『加密』功能，无法防御恶意软体。我们率先推出世界第一个具备Kaspersky Lab防毒软体坐镇的 USB随身碟，在内部执行过滤“进口”和“出口”档案的重要任务。」周先生重申。

基于市场越来越需要保全度更高的随身碟，而Tech Titan T-Drive Pro随身碟正是首个突破等级的实用新品，因此，泰腾恩对其在企业和个人用户领域的受青睐度也深具信心。

Tech Titan T-Drive Pro随身碟自今年 8月2日已在国内各主要零售站点发行，零售价为 RM179 (8 GB)。其它详情，敬请拨电 +60(3) 7802 2200洽询或上网浏览 www.tech-titan.com。
