Ensure's patented XyLoc provides full-time access control to mobile and desktop PCs, continuously authorizing users without burdening them with cumbersome security protocols. Its patented technology protects confidential data when it is most vulnerable - after logon, whenever the authorized user steps away from the PC. Users with XyLoc-protected laptops have immediate access to their applications and data and their PCs are automatically secured the moment the user steps away.

XyLoc is unique in its ability to make authentication smarter with its ability to balance security and convenience. Users are recognized based on their proximity to their PCs. They wear unique XyLoc KeyCards (that can also double as their ID badge) that communicate securely with proximity detection hardware and sophisticated software residing on each workstation. A computer is unlocked only after XyLoc has identified and authenticated a user.
