TEAMS WITH TOSHIBA
Ensure
To Showcase its Patented XyLoc Wireless PC Security Solution
with Toshiba at The Internetworking Event, Amsterdam
Amsterdam,
Holland, 27 March 2000 – Ensure
Technologies, the award-winning leader in intelligent PC security
solutions, this week will team with Toshiba at The Internetworking
Event, a conference and exhibition focused on the dynamic
and growing Information & Communications Technology (ICT)
market. Ensure will showcase its patented XyLoc wireless PC
security solution with Toshiba at The Internetworking Event,
Amsterdam RAI, Amsterdam, Holland, 28 March - 30 March 2000,
Toshiba's Stand #P 811 PARK HALL.
"We're
pleased to be teaming with Toshiba, particularly with our
mutual interest and support of the emerging Bluetooth
wireless standard," said George Brostoff, co-founder and president
of Ensure Technologies. "There is great momentum behind Bluetooth
and there are great synergies between Ensure and Toshiba.
Portables continue to proliferate as the preferred PC device,
so there is a growing need for more convenience, personalization
and security of these devices. XyLoc's patented wireless technology
can positively identify who is accessing a Toshiba portable
and what access privileges they have. As Bluetooth
development progresses, these benefits will be even more powerful."
"We're
delighted to have Ensure join us at this event," said Martin
Jansen, product marketing manager, at Toshiba Information
Systems Benelux. "Ensure's XyLoc wireless PC security solution
offers much value to our family of portable computers by delivering
a practical and robust way of securing and protecting access
to PC resources, anywhere, anytime. We also look forward to
working closely with Ensure on our Bluetooth development."
Ensure's
XyLoc is a 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 - 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. XyLoc also
simplifies public key infrastructure (PKI) implementations
and protects digital certificates stored on PCs increasing
the security of e-commerce transactions.
Bluetooth
(www.bluetooth.com)
is a collection of wireless telecommunications and computing
leaders. This group was founded in 1998 by Ericsson, IBM,
Intel, Nokia and Toshiba to create a global specification
for short-range, wireless connectivity. Since its founding,
the Bluetooth SIG has grown to over 1,200 members,
recently adding Microsoft, 3COM, Compaq, Dell, Hewlett-Packard,
Lucent, Motorola, Philips, Samsung, Siemens and Texas Instruments.
Ensure's XyLoc will feature Bluetooth smart cards that
will be interoperable with any Bluetooth device, whether
it be a mobile phone, PDA or PC. Using XyLoc, administrators
will easily load and manage digital certificates on any Bluetooth
device, delivering XyLoc's patented full-time access control
to multiple types of devices.
