Dynabook Europe has announced a partnership with Microsoft to build “the most secure Windows devices available today”.
The new class of Windows 10 Secured-core PCs are designed with deep integration between hardware and software, and feature the most advanced CPUs available to ensure resistance to current and future cyber-threats. The first dynabook devices to offer this next-level hardware, software and identity protection right out-of-the-box are available now, making Dynabook one of the first manufacturers to bring Secured-core PCs to market:
– Portégé X30-F and Tecra X40-F – announced on 9th July 2019, the devices are the first 13” and 14” notebooks to be dynabook-branded in Europe following the re-brand of Toshiba’s computer business in April of this year. They are elegantly designed with a range of features to provide seamless connectivity and reliability.
– Tecra X50F – Announced on September 5th 2019, the X50-F weighs in at just 1.42kg and boasts a 17-hour battery life. It offers the advantages of a high brightness 15” SHARP IGZO FHD LCD screen, without compromising on portability, performance or reliability on the go.
Secured-core PCs are intended to handle mission-critical data and protect workers in some of the most data-sensitive industries, such as healthcare providers handling medical records and other personally identifiable information (PII), high profile industries targeted for phishing and other attacks, and businesses that employ mobile workers who require access to business-critical information outside of the office.
“Dramatic developments in digital technologies have fuelled the growth and needs of the mobile workforce. Now in an age of mass data proliferation and an increased threat landscape, organisations need to rapidly adapt to this changing environment. Current network infrastructures were not built with the requirements of today’s security in mind,” said Damian Jaume, managing director, Dynabook Europe GmbH.
“Devices are often the first line of defence for organisations – but those operating in the most data-sensitive of industries need an added layer of security to ensure comprehensive protection. That is why we’re partnering with Microsoft to develop an integrated hardware and software approach to security.”
David Weston, partner director of OS Security, Microsoft Corporation, added: “We are pleased to see the announcement from Dynabook today. We have partnered closely with Dynabook to ensure these devices meet Secured-core PC engineering criteria, and we are pleased to see the progress we have made together.”
The dynabook range of 13”, 14”, and 15” Secured-core PCs including the Portégé X30-F, Tecra X40-F and Tecra X50-F are available now.
