ENSURE
TECHNOLOGIES' XYLOC WIRELESS PC SECURITY TO BE FEATURED AT
RSA PAVILION AT NETWORLD+INTEROP
XyLoc's
Patented "Walk-Away" Technology Combines Automatic
Security and Unparalleled Convenience To Protect PCs from
Unauthorized Access
Networld+Interop,
Las Vegas, NV, May 8, 2001— Ensure
Technologies, the award-winning leader in intelligent digital
information security solutions, this week in conjunction with
RSA Security Inc. (NASDAQ: RSAS), the most trusted name in
e-security™, will present its XyLoc™ wireless PC
security solution designed specifically to protect against
unauthorized access to confidential PC-based information and
make the PC more convenient to use for authorized users, at
the RSA Pavilion at Networld+Interop, Las Vegas, NV, May
8-13, 2001, RSA Booth #6037.
Ensure
will also give a daily presentation on "Full-Time Security
with Convenience for RSA Keon and RSA SecurID Applications"
at the RSA Pavilion. As a member of RSA Secured™ Partner
Program, Ensure's XyLoc has received RSA Secured™ certification
with both RSA SecurID® authentication technology and RSA
Keon® public key infrastructure (PKI) solutions.
"Organizations
continue to grapple with the challenge of protecting sensitive
PC-based information and implementing security policies that
ensure employee compliance," said George Brostoff, co-founder
and president of Ensure Technologies. "XyLoc gives companies
a solution that automatically and transparently guards corporate
PCs against unauthorized access. Furthermore, for companies
implementing authentication and PKI solutions, like RSA SecureID
and RSA Keon, XyLoc adds an unparalleled layer of convenience
and personalization capabilities to these solutions. XyLoc's
wireless 'walk-away' security technology easily recognizes
authorized users as they approach the PC and, more importantly,
instantly secures the PC the second they step away. It's a
powerful solution that bridges the gap between effective security
and user convenience."
XyLoc's
patented technology - full-time access control and proximity
authentication - transparently prevents unauthorized access
to confidential corporate data, while at the same time making
access to PC and network services and applications more convenient
for authorized users. XyLoc protects sensitive data when it
is most vulnerable: after logon, when the authorized user
steps away from the PC for any reason.
A
robust and hassle-free security solution, XyLoc is completely
hands-free: no passwords to enter, no tokens to insert, no
fingerprints to scan. Unlike other security technologies,
XyLoc takes an innovative approach to user compliance by not
requiring any action on the part of the user. Using its patented
wireless technology, XyLoc detects who is in front of the
workstation based on their proximity to the PC, whether he/she
is an authorized user and what access privileges they have.
Most importantly, XyLoc recognizes when the authorized user
walks away from the PC for any reason and automatically secures
the workstation until they return or another authorized user
approaches the PC.
XyLoc
features:
- Single
Sign-On & Enhanced Application Integration, a powerful
single sign-on capability conveniently and easily logs authorized
users into their secured applications
- Personalization
Wizard, an easy to use tool that enables users to specify
which applications and custom settings are launched as soon
as they log on to any XyLoc protected PC. Email clients,
calendars, medical record databases and other frequently
used applications can be automatically opened and ready
when authorized users approach their PCs.
- Small
XyLoc KeyCard, a small form factor with extended battery
life and power saving modes. The KeyCard offers an 18-24
month battery life, on/off buttons and a programmable shutoff
timer to conserve battery life when the KeyCard is not in
use.
- RSA
SecureID and Keon® Ready, designating XyLoc's compatibility
with RSA SecureID authentication and Keon public key infrastructure
(PKI) solutions that enable, manage and simplify the use
of digital certificates in today's leading applications.
- Entrust-Ready™
Branding, XyLoc has been granted Entrust-Ready status
to add a layer of protection to the Entrust PKI solution,
helping to prevent unauthorized access to digital certificates
XyLoc users wear unique badges (XyLoc KeyCards that can be
used in conjunction with corporate ID badge) that communicate
securely with proximity detection hardware and sophisticated
software residing on each workstation. Because XyLoc can positively
identify authorized users, it can instantly log users onto
their own applications as they approach different workstations
located in conference rooms, offices or public spaces. Security
administrators can manage multiple XyLoc systems across their
networks from a central location using the centralized XyLoc
Security Server.
