Japan-based NEC Computers has launched the Versa M370, P570 and S970 laptops with built-in hardware security for small and medium-sized businesses.

According to NEC, the laptops include authentication and data security solutions such as Trusted Platform module, Seagate encrypting drives with wave management software and client management software. It also offers data protection and automated compliance auditing for lost, stolen or recycled laptops.

The laptops also provide software-based encryption for pre-boot security. It also simplifies remote deployment, security policy enforcement and compliance auditing of laptop computers.

"Companies throughout Europe face increasing pressure to safeguard their information assets," said Brian Berger, executive vice president of marketing and sales at Wave Systems. "NEC is demonstrating a commitment to helping companies support and manage the strongest levels of authentication and data protection solutions available today."

Additionally, the Trusted Platform module acts as a storage vault for user credentials and offers various advanced security functions, including multi-factor authentication, data protection and ID/password management.
