ENSURE
TECHNOLOGIES’ XYLOC FEATURED AT KEYNOTE AT INTEL DEVELOPER
FORUM
Ann
Arbor, MI, March 14, 2001 – Ensure
Technologies, the award-winning leader in intelligent wireless
PC security solutions, today announced that its XyLoc™ wireless
security and authentication solution based on Bluetooth*
wireless technology was featured as one of the key industry
technology trends during the Keynote speech by Paul Otellini,
executive vice president for Intel architecture products,
at the Intel Developer Forum, February 28, 2001. At the IDF
Spring 2001, Ensure’s XyLoc was demonstrated securing and
protecting access to a notebook computer as part of the first
public demonstration of Intel’s first processor based on 0.13
micron technology.
“At our
conference this year, we wanted our keynote and technology
demonstrations to reflect key trends and directions in the
industry. Wireless 802.11b and the Bluetooth wireless
technology are important initiatives and Intel is driving
solutions to have seamless coexistence between two different
standards,” said Simon Ellis, Intel Corporation and Marketing
Chairman of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group. “The
Intel Protected Access Architecture (IPAA) for mobile PCs
will also support wireless security applications.”
“It is
an honor to have XyLoc demonstrated at this key conference,”
said George Brostoff, president of Ensure Technologies. “Intel’s
demonstration of its 0.13 micron processor notebook was quite
impressive and XyLoc adds a layer of convenience, security
and personalization to this system by positively identifying
who is accessing the notebook as the user approaches the system.”
Ensure
is an associate member of the Bluetooth Special Interest
Group (www.bluetooth.com), 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. The Bluetooth wireless
technology is a small form-factor, low-cost radio solution
that is set to revolutionize the personal connectivity market
by providing freedom from wired connections.
XyLoc
is a robust personalization and security application for Bluetooth
wireless devices. As more Bluetooth devices come to
market, security will become essential to protect them 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.
XyLoc will allow Bluetooth devices to positively recognize
and identify authorized users and make Bluetooth phones
and PDAs more convenient to use.
XyLoc
is a patented, centrally managed, automatic 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 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. XyLoc is proximity-activated
and completely “hands-free,” requiring no user interaction.
By automatically and effortlessly recognizing who is requesting
access to a PC, XyLoc simplifies PKI implementations and protects
digital certificates stored on PCs increasing the security
of e-commerce transactions.
