VIA Awards CyberScrub Professional Edition 3.5 First Ever PadLock
Certification for Third Party Security Software
New VIA PadLock Certification Program provides in-house testing and
support in optimizing security software for the VIA PadLock Hardware
Security Suite
(ATLANTA GA)--May 18, 2004 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading
innovator and developer of silicon chip technologies and PC platform
solutions, today announced the launch of the VIA Padlock Certification
Program with CyberScrub Professional Edition 3.5 v420 as the first third
party security software to be certified by VIA.
The VIA PadLock Certification program is the latest development in
the VIA PadLock Security Initiative, and is designed to assist independent
software developers in optimizing their products for the on-die security
features integrated into the latest VIA processors. A dedicated team of VIA
engineers, in collaboration with CyberScrub developers, carried out the
testing and optimization of the CyberScrub Professional 3.5 Edition to
ensure maximum benefit from the VIA PadLock Hardware Security Suite.
Consisting of on-die security features, the VIA PadLock Hardware
Security Suite can take on much of the heavy lifting work associated with
securing electronic information. By integrating support for the VIA PadLock
Hardware Security Suite, software developers can speed-up certain operations
within security programs while reducing the workload on the processor. As a
result, the processor can get on with entertainment and productivity tasks,
boosting overall system performance and helping to deliver a better user
experience.
“The Industry is waking up to the need for better information
security and there is growing interest in using VIA PadLock Hardware
Security Suite in order to run advanced security programs without taxing
system resources.” said Justin Hsu, Executive Assistant to the President,
VIA Technologies, Inc. “We are very pleased to announce CyberScrub as the
first independent security software developer to qualify in our
certification program with the CyberScrub Professional Edition 3.5.”

innovative on-die security features
VIA Awards CyberScrub Professional
Edition 3.5 First Ever PadLock…2/3
of VIA processors set a high standard and we are honored to be part
of this certification process.”
CyberScrub Professional Edition 3.5v420 is a high-level security application
that allows users to completely eliminate sensitive information and enhance
system performance
by erasing unwanted
and previously deleted files beyond recovery.
Harnessing entropy from the VIA PadLock RNG together with cutting edge
privacy protection technology, CyberScrub is designed to defeat the most
advanced forensic software and hardware recovery techniques, providing
military-grade privacy from prying eyes.

performance gain of over 50% with CyberScrub Professional 3.5 edition,” said

application can add considerable value to compact, power efficient VIA
processor based devices.”
