Nero Summer Promotion: Nero 8 Plus Free Steganos Safe™ 2008 PC File Protection System in Europe, Middle East, Africa Market

This summer all retail and online purchases of Nero 8 will come with free innovative data protection suite

Nero, creators of liquid media technology, announced today that the company’s summer promotion will include copies of Steganos Safe™ 2008 with all new Nero 8 purchases and upgrades both in the retail market and through the Nero Online Shop within the Europe, Middle East, and Africa market.

Steganos Safe™ 2008 provides users solutions to keep personal data safe from unauthorized access. Users can create an unlimited number of secure drives called data safes, each holding up to 256 GB of content. Data safes can be created for laptops, PCs, and USB sticks. In addition, audio and video content can be encrypted before creating a CD or DVD with Nero, thus making personal media files password-protected. Passwords can be generated to encode e-mail in-boxes, and passwords can be created using image sequences instead of words. In addition, users can rely on personal devices such as an iPod® or USB stick as the key instead of a password. A virtual shredder lets users shred unwanted data permanently.

“Nero is pleased to offer Steganos Safe™ 2008 as our free summer promotion," said Patrick Peeters, general manager EMEA, Nero AG. “Steganos’ unique data protection and password generation solutions are ideal complements to Nero 8 features and technology that help users enjoy living the digital life. We are sure that users will enjoy the benefits of this outstanding campaign."

“We are pleased to offer our technologies to Nero users in this great summer promotion," said Michael Marzy, Managing Director Sales & Marketing. “Like Nero, we are a company that develops innovative solutions that simplify the digital life. Now users can create digital media projects with Nero and be sure that they are safe and protected with Steganos Safe™ 2008."
Nero 8 is the latest version of Nero’s award-winning digital media suite and is available in retail markets worldwide and through the Nero Online Shop at www.nero.com. For more information about Nero and Nero products, visit www.nero.com.
