West Midlands Ambulance Service Protects Portable Data with BlockMaster’s secure USB SafeStick

September 2009 by Marc Jacob

BlockMaster, a provider of secure USB flash drives, announces it will supply West Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust with over 300 SafeSticks to provide complete security for all removable data.

West Midlands Ambulance Service covers a geographical area of approximately 5,000 square miles and serves 5.3 million people living in Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Coventry, Warwickshire, Staffordshire and Birmingham and the Black Country. The Trust has a total number of 3,300 employees, 58 ambulance stations and uses 864 vehicles.

It will be using the SafeSticks to provide all members of staff, wishing to transport data, with complete security through automatic hardware encryption. In addition to this it will use SafeConsole, a web based management solution, to manage, audit, reset passwords, and apply custom policies to all SafeSticks no matter where they are. The sticks have been deployed at the West Ambulance Service by Softek, a leading IT Security, Storage and Archiving Solutions Distributor.

Tony Carne, Head of ICT at West Midlands Ambulance Service comments: “We have been delighted with the SafeSticks, their durability, compact size and military encryption levels. The SafeSticks have provided the reassurance that our data is protected no matter where or who it is with.”

West Midlands Ambulance Service is one of over 100 UK emergency services and NHS organisations currently using SafeStick and SafeConsole to protect portable data. Other medical bodies using the BlockMaster SafeStick include the West Suffolk NHS Hospital Trust and the Aintree University Hospital NHS Trust.
