Ensure Technologies Releases New XyLoc® Software

YPSILANTI, MI - September 21, 2009 – Ensure Technologies, the leading provider of active RF proximity-based authentication solutions, announces the release of its XyLoc Client 9.0 and XyLoc Security Server 5.0 software. This software applies to all new orders effective immediately, and is available on an FTP site for download to customers on existing software maintenance agreements.

XyLoc Client 9.0 software includes the following enhancements:

• XyView Client, a diagnostic dashboard stand-alone utility used to facilitate initial XyLoc setup
• Improved algorithm for locking and unlocking of the client workstation
• A configurable “Delay Lock” algorithm that accommodates workflows where the user needs to view the screen from a greater distance from the workstation
• Secure unlock/lock functionality and audit log for both Passive RF and Active RF proximity devices
• When used with Citrix® Password Manager Hot Desktop, the updated version allows fast-user-switching with fewer keystrokes
• Support for UPEK® fingerprint readers, as a second-factor authentication (this is in addition to existing support for AuthenTec® and Digital Persona® fingerprint readers)
• Increased display for up to 10 usernames of active RF badges detected in the range of a locked workstation
• Enhanced Microsoft® RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) support

XyLoc Client 9.0 software runs on Windows® XP and Windows XP Embedded (XPe) operating systems and supports Citrix XenAppTM environments. A separate release for Windows Vista and Windows 7 is scheduled for release fourth quarter.

The XyLoc Security Server (XSS) 5.0 adds support for Microsoft Server 2008 and SQL 2008. New features in this version include the support for multiple types of fingerprint readers within an enterprise and support for the “Delay Lock” feature so that it may be configured by groups of users or workstations.

XSS (formerly known as XyLoc MD) is a web-based server application for central control and management of the XyLoc system throughout the enterprise. IT managers can easily implement and administer XyLoc across multiple segments of their network(s). XSS supports account information stored in a Microsoft SQL Server database or in Active Directory via Schema Extension, along with a user activity log written to a Microsoft SQL Server database. XSS allows for the configuration of groups by user or by workstation and supports “unique user accounts” as well as “kiosk accounts”. Kiosk accounts are often preferred in a multi-user, shared workstation environment typical of the healthcare industry.
