Entrust
SecureSummit, San Diego, Calif., January 22, 2001
– Ensure Technologies, the award-winning leader in intelligent
PC security solutions, today announced that Entrust Technologies
Inc., the global leader in solutions that bring trust to e-business,
has granted Entrust-Ready™ status to Ensure’s XyLoc™ wireless
PC security solution. XyLoc’s patented wireless security is
now available to Entrust customers, giving them an added layer
of protection against unauthorized access to the PC and its
resources. Ensure will be exhibiting its solutions this week
at Entrust Secure Summit 2001, January 22-25, 2001,
San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, Calif., Booth #214.
“We are
pleased that Ensure’s XyLoc has been added to our repertoire
of Entrust-Ready products,” said Paul Doscher, executive vice
president, marketing and business development, Entrust Technologies.
“There is great synergy between Ensure’s XyLoc wireless solution
and our family of public-key software products. Together,
they provide our users with a solution for securing and safeguarding
access to data that combines security with convenience and
ease of use.”
Ensure’s
patented XyLoc wireless security technology offers an extraordinary
security solution for organizations seeking managed access
to PCs, applications and confidential data without sacrificing
convenience. Likewise, Entrust Technologies provides affordable
security for e-business applications across multiple platforms
with fully automated key management.
“We are
delighted to complement our Entrust relationship with Entrust-Ready
branding of XyLoc,” said George Brostoff, co-founder and president
of Ensure Technologies. “The new law giving digital signatures
equal legal weight as handwritten signatures intensifies the
need to protect access to digital certificates. For companies
implementing PKI in their security policies, XyLoc augments
the Entrust PKI solution with its patented wireless technology
of full-time access control, which adds a layer of protection
to help prevent unauthorized access to digital certificates.”
XyLoc
is a centrally managed, wireless computer security solution
that prevents unauthorized access to confidential PC-based
information, and simultaneously makes access to network services
and applications more convenient for authorized employees.
XyLoc’s patented full-time access control technology protects
sensitive data when it is most vulnerable: after logon, when
the authorized user steps away from the PC for any reason.
Suited
for a variety of scalable applications including healthcare
and financial services, XyLoc is proximity-activated and completely
“hands-free,” requiring no user interaction. Because it enables
the computer to know automatically and effortlessly who is
requesting access to its resources, XyLoc offers security
features and flexibility previously unavailable. XyLoc also
simplifies access to PKI and protects digital certificates
stored on PCs, helping to prevent unauthorized e-commerce
transactions.
Entrust’s
software products provide an infrastructure, meeting the exploding
demand for public-key cryptography technology. With a standards-based
public and private-key cryptography key management solution,
key updates are automatic, transparent to users. The solution
allows the flexibility of deploying network security on a
large scale, while minimizing administration costs and without
compromising critical centralized controls.
