Ensure Unveils XyLoc Based On Bluetooth Wireless Technology

Adds Unparalleled Convenience, Security and Personalization to Bluetooth PCs, PDAs and Mobile Devices

Ensure Technologies, the award-winning leader in intelligent digital information security solutions, this week will officially unveil its XyLoc(TM) BT-1 based on Bluetooth wireless technology at the Bluetooth Pavilion at CeBIT 2001, Hannover, Germany, 22-28 March 2001, Hall 1, Stand 5d 4. Ensure's XyLoc is the only patented wireless security solution designed to add convenient protection and personalization to Bluetooth mobile phones, PDAs and other wireless devices.

"We are thrilled to be announcing our XyLoc wireless security and authentication solution based on Bluetooth wireless technology at CeBIT 2001," said George Brostoff, co-founder and president of Ensure Technologies. "Bluetooth wireless technology has gained incredible momentum in Europe and XyLoc delivers one of the most compelling Bluetooth applications. Not only does it enable users to secure access to confidential information residing on Bluetooth devices, but it adds an unprecedented level of personalization because it enables Bluetooth devices to automatically recognize who you are and customize themselves to your preferences."

XyLoc BT-1 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 users. XyLoc's full-time access control protects sensitive data when it is most vulnerable: after logon, when the authorized user steps away from the Bluetooth information appliance for any reason. Features include:

--Automatic, Hands-Free Logon: Proximity-activated -- can be set for "hands-free" with no user interaction; logs on authorized users as they approach the Bluetooth device

--Support for Mobile Environments: Protects Bluetooth portables from theft of sensitive data and unauthorized access

--Strengthens PKI Deployments: Augments PKI with XyLoc's patented full-time access control for a convenient and robust way to secure business transactions

--Personalization, Quick Access and Authentication: Shared applications immediately accessible as users move among different Bluetooth PCs and appliances

--Quick Rechargeable Battery: Provides two days of typical use with fast recharge

--Compatibility With Other Bluetooth Solutions: Works with most shipping Bluetooth PC Cards (PCMCIA)

Ensure is an associate member of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), 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. As more Bluetooth devices come to market, security is essential to protect these devices 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 adds powerful security features to Bluetooth devices and appliances.

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 device to know automatically and effortlessly who is requesting access to its resources, XyLoc offers security features and flexibility previously unavailable. XyLoc also simplifies PKI implementations and protects digital certificates stored on PCs increasing the security of e-commerce transactions.
