TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES WINDOWS 2000 SUPPORT FOR ITS XYLOC
WIRELESS PC SECURITY SOLUTION
Patented
Security Solution Automatically and Conveniently Secures Windows
2000 PCs
Ann
Arbor, Mich., January 25, 2000 –
Ensure Technologies, the award-winning leader in intelligent
PC security solutions, today announced Windows 2000 support
for its patented XyLoc wireless PC security solution. XyLoc's
technology adds further flexibility to the native security
architecture of Windows 2000 by automatically securing Windows
2000 PCs whenever the user steps away, and simultaneously
makes access to network services and applications more convenient
for authorized users.
"We are
excited to be one of the first PC security vendors to announce
support for Windows 2000. By delivering a very practical and
convenient method for securing access to the PC and its resources,
XyLoc adds significant value and security to the Windows environment
and greatly improves usability and compliance," said George
Brostoff, co-founder and president of Ensure Technologies.
"Microsoft put a lot of effort into the security of Windows
2000, and XyLoc users will especially value the file-level
encryption used to protect their documents."
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
XyLoc enables the computer to know automatically and effortlessly
who is requesting access to its resources, XyLoc offers security
features and flexibility previously unavailable. For example,
Windows 2000 users are only granted access to their own encrypted
files. XyLoc also simplifies implementation of public key
infrastructure (PKI) by securing digital certificates stored
on PCs and ensuring that they are protected from unauthorized
use.
Ensure
Technologies is also an active member of the Bluetooth™
Special Interest Group (SIG), 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.
