(PR NewsChannel) / May 09, 2008 / ATLANTA / Similar to a safe at a bank, a new add-on for BlackBerry and similar devices creates electronic vaults to safeguard vital, sometimes proprietary information from getting into the wrong hands should devices become lost or stolen.

JumpVault software addresses concerns from a growing number of businesses that rely on their employees to use BlackBerry, USB flash drives and other mobile devices to transport and transfer data.

“JumpVault actually transforms an ordinary USB flash or mobile device such as a BlackBerry into a secure virtual container,” says Steve White, co-founder of Georgia-based QuickVault,Inc., which created JumpVault.  “It’s password-protected and offers the option for meta data logging to track movement of mobile data files.”

The company says JumpVault fully protects information on any mobile storage device with internal flash memory—no matter the file size or type.  The product also functions as a backup unit for laptops and workstations often overlooked by enterprise business continuity and disaster recovery programs.

That means contracts, proposals, business plans, personal documents, confidential documents, spreadsheets and legal documents can be protected on mobile storage devices.

The Sarbanes Oxley, Payment Card Industry (PCI), US Health Insurance Accountability and Portability Act (HIPPA) mandate by law that record holders safeguard certain types of information. JumpVault’s unique data loss prevention features protect mobile data from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Any breach can be costly.  Data leaks cost organizations roughly $4.8-million per breach, according to The Ponemon Institute, an organization dedicated to independent research relating to privacy and security management practices in business and government.

JumpVault is fully contained on the USB-enabled mobile storage device and operates across a variety of computer operating systems includingWindows, Vista, and MAC.

Access to the data is password protected.  JumpVault has a built-in 256 bit encryption and offers the options of scheduled transfer of data from PCs to corporate servers.  The data stored on the BlackBerry cannot be accessed without authentication.
