Ann Arbor, Michigan, March 13, 2000 – Ensure Technologies, the award-winning leader in intelligent PC security solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Entrust Technologies, Inc., the global leader in solutions that bring trust to e-business. As a member of Entrust Technologies' Alliance Developer Program, Ensure is working to certify its XyLoc wireless PC security solution as Entrust-Ready™. This will enable XyLoc to store Entrust's digital certificates, which will make XyLoc's patented wireless security available to Entrust customers, giving them an added layer of protection against unauthorized access to the PC and its resources.

XyLoc is a centrally managed, wireless PC computer security solution well suited for a variety of applications from large-scale enterprises to small offices. XyLoc's unique, full-time access control technology protects sensitive data when it is most vulnerable - after logon, when the authorized user - for whatever reason - steps away from the PC. Suited for professionals who need easy, yet secure, access to information "on the fly," 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. Additionally, XyLoc easily integrates with and enhances the effectiveness of other security technologies, like biometrics or tokens.
