IRVINE, CA (September 7, 2006) - NewTech Infosystems, Inc. announced today, NTI Ninja™, a new USB data storage utility that offers user-adjustable public and private partitioning as well as anti-tamper encryption and password protection for users and manufacturers of flash and other portable USB storage devices. To celebrate the launch, NTI is offering free downloads of NTI Ninja for one day only on September 26, 2006. The free download will be available from the NTI Ninja website, www.NTINinja.com, for 24 hours (12:00 a.m. September 26, 2006 - 11:59 p.m. September 26, 2006, Pacific Time). NTI Ninja will have an MSRP of US $24.99.

NTI Ninja was created in response to the growing demand to secure data on mobile USB storage devices. Flash drives are ideal for business people, students, and consumers who want to keep their digital data with them but don't want to carry a notebook everywhere they go. IDC expects the mobile worker population alone to increase from more than 650 million worldwide in 2004, to more than 850 million in 2009.

"While the demand for mobile storage solutions is growing, the need to protect the data stored on these devices is also rising," Bill Yao, NTI president and CEO emphasized. "NTI Ninja provides portable USB drive manufacturers and users with a quick and easy way to create private and public workspaces on the same drive so that users can hide private information safely and continue to experience all the benefits of sharing public information from the same drive. If the drive is ever lost or stolen, unauthorized use is safeguarded through encryption and password protection."

To meet the security needs of USB device users, NTI Ninja includes core protection features. The user-adjustable partition sizing feature enables users to create public and private partitions in combinations up to the maximum capacity of their USB device. Ninja encrypts and password protects the private area so users can be confident that sensitive data in the private partition cannot be accessed, even if the drive is lost or stolen. Most USB security software today merely password protects the entire USB device which stops the user's ability to share public content on the device. NTI Ninja actually encrypts and password protects the data designated by the user to be hidden in the private partition while it maintains the full ability of the public data in the public partition to be shared. Users also have the flexibility to reformat their drive at any time to meet changing requirements.
