AMI previously announced support for Opal and Opalite and now AMI has added password support for Pyrite. With the support for Pyrite, AMI enables drives that have a hardware mechanism to protect access without the need to carry out encryption of user data.<\/p>\n<p>AMI has worked with several industry partners to develop and validate the support for Pyrite. By introducing this support, OEMs can create solutions at lower costs than Opal or Opalite while maintaining the security of the data.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Aptio V UEFI Firmware from AMI, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ami.com\/products\/aptio-v\/\">ami.com\/products\/aptio-v\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press Release AMI Announces Support for Pyrite Password Protected Drives For Immediate Release: March 7, 2017 NORCROSS, GEORGIA: \u2013 AMI, a global leader in BIOS and UEFI firmware, server and remote management tools, data storage products and unique solutions based on the Linux\u00ae and Android\u2122 operating systems, is proud to announce support for Pyrite Password [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1490,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","content-type":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[1500],"project_tag":[1678],"class_list":["post-1489","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-news","project_tag-press-release","topics-cybersecurity"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
