"We look for companies like Ensure that are taking leadership roles in delivering new technologies to the mobile computing industry. The XyLoc wireless security solution offers powerful and easy to use security for a range of mobile computing devices.

Hosted by the leading mobile industry research and consulting firm, Mobile Insights, Go Mobile presents IT professionals with the information they need to better acquire and deploy mobile computing technology. Go Mobile examines the latest trends, takes an in-depth look at issues and solutions, and presents exciting on-stage demonstrations of the latest mobile computing and data communications products and services. Companies are selected and invited for on-stage demonstrations by Mobile Insight analysts.

"Go Mobile is a great venue to demonstrate our XyLoc solution," said George Brostoff, co-founder and president of Ensure Technologies. "Not only is XyLoc an unmatched solution for securing portables, it will become even more critical as Bluetooth devices come to market. The XyLoc platform will extend to secure PDAs, mobile phones and other mobile devices."

XyLoc is a patented computer security and personalization solution that prevents unauthorized access to confidential company data, and simultaneously makes access to network services and business applications more convenient for authorized employees. XyLoc enables the computer to know automatically and effortlessly who is requesting access to its resources, which delivers a level of personalization and convenience previously unavailable.

XyLoc's unique, full-time access control technology protects confidential 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.

Ensure is an associate member of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), a group working toward a wireless technology specification that provides links between mobile computers, mobile phones and other portable and handheld devices, and connectivity to the Internet. As more Bluetooth devices come to market, security will become essential to protect these devices from unauthorized access. Using XyLoc's patented technology, network managers can easily load and manage digital certificates on any Bluetooth PC, phone or PDA, which will add powerful security features to Bluetooth devices and appliances.
