SECURITY SOLUTION
Wireless
PC Security Solution Delivers Convenience, Personalization
and Protection to the Ultimate PC
PC
EXPO, New York, NY, June 26, 2000 –
Ensure Technologies, the award-winning leader in intelligent
wireless PC security solutions, has been selected to participate
in the "Building the Ultimate PC" demonstration conducted
by the CRN Test Center this week at PC Expo. Ensure's XyLoc
wireless PC security solution will be featured as one of the
key security components when CRN Test Center Director John
Yacono hosts a technology briefing at noon each day on "Building
the Ultimate PC", Jacob Javits Convention Center, Crystal
Pavilion, New York, June 27-29, 2000. The daily Ultimate PC
seminar is free to all attendees.
"Ensure's
XyLoc is a terrific addition to the Ultimate PC," said Yacono.
"We evaluate numerous products before deciding on which ones
to include in the Ultimate PC. Beyond XyLoc's 'cool factor'
it does a great job of conveniently protecting a PC and simplifying
logon and log off by automatically detecting an authorized
user's presence or absence from the PC."
"We
are very honored to have been hand-picked to be part of the
Ultimate PC," said George Brostoff, co-founder and president
of Ensure Technologies. "The critical elements involved in
building the Ultimate PC include not only speed, but also
convenience and personalization. XyLoc delivers an outstanding
security solution for preventing unauthorized access to the
Ultimate PC, but, more importantly, it makes the PC more convenient
to access, use and administer."
The
Ultimate PC is composed of best-of-breed components used or
evaluated by Test Center engineers. This show's Ultimate PC
is a 1GHz Pentium III-based PC with dual drives and 256 Mbytes
of RAM. Additional information on building the Ultimate PC
is available at the Test Center's booth in the Crystal Pavilion
of the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
XyLoc
transparently prevents unauthorized access to confidential
PC data, while at the same time making access to network services
and business applications more convenient for users. XyLoc
applies advanced software technology to deliver innovative
features, including:
- Automatic,
Hands-Free Logon: Proximity-activated –
can be set for "hands-free" with no user interaction; logs
authorized user on as they approach the workstation
- Support
for Mobile Environments: Protects portables from
theft and sensitive data from unauthorized access
- Strengthens
PKI Deployments: Augments PKI with XyLoc's patented
full-time access control for a convenient and robust way
to secure business transactions
-
Kiosk Accounts:
Support for workgroup or team accounts for shared PCs (trading,
hospitals, legal, auditing teams, etc.)
- Personalization,
Quick Access and Authentication: Shared applications
immediately accessible as users move among different PCs
- Centralized
Management Tools: Event logs and audit trails, provided
automatically, detail a history of the use of the PC
Based
on patented wireless technology, XyLoc is a robust and hassle-free
security solution that transparently and conveniently protects
PCs and data from internal security breaches. It detects who
is in front of the workstation, whether they are an authorized
user and what access privileges they have. Most importantly,
XyLoc recognizes when the authorized user is not present and
automatically secures the workstation when the authorized
user leaves it for any reason. Finally, because it can positively
identify authorized users, XyLoc can instantly log users onto
their own shared business applications as they approach different
workstations located in a customer service center, conference
room, law library or trading floor.
Unlike
other security technologies, XyLoc takes an innovative approach
to user compliance by not requiring any action on the part
of the user. It is hands-free: no passwords to enter, no tokens
to insert, no fingerprints to scan. With XyLoc, users are
recognized based on their proximity to the PC and the computer
is unlocked only after it has identified and authenticated
them. Users wear unique badges (that can be used in conjunction
with their corporate ID badge) that communicate securely with
proximity detection hardware and sophisticated software residing
on each workstation. When the user walks away from the PC,
XyLoc secures the PC until they return or another authorized
user approaches the PC. XyLoc works with PCs, portables and
workstations running Microsoft® Windows NT®, Windows® 95/98
and Windows® 2000.
