DeviceLock and Lexar Media Offer Bundled USB Security
Enterprise-class Solution Addresses the Growing Dilemma of Data Leakage via USB Flash Drives
San Ramon, CA, and Fremont, CA, June 10, 2008 -- DeviceLock Inc., a worldwide leader in endpoint device access control, and
Lexar Media, a leading global provider of memory products for digital media, today announced the general availability of a multi-layered,
centrally managed endpoint security package. The bundle includes DeviceLock software and the Lexar Media SAFE PSD S1100 USB flash drive.
After a number of successful pilot installations, DeviceLock is extending its availability by offering a bundled solution to customers worldwide.
One such customer is Armanino McKenna, a California-based accounting and business consulting firm. "Accountants are always moving between the
firm's and clients' offices. Sometimes we work at home, so flash drives are a great convenience," explains Doug Miller, director of IT at
Armanino McKenna. "But we're also dealing in data protected by numerous state, federal, and international privacy laws. We have the best
of two worlds by using DeviceLock software in combination with hardware-encrypted devices. If these USB drives are lost or stolen, the
contained data is protected. And we have DeviceLock for centralized management of local ports and drives on employee PCs, so that
unauthorized devices cannot be used."
"There is a natural complementary relationship between DeviceLock software and Lexar's enterprise-class SAFE PSD S1100 USB flash drive.
The hardware encryption ensures that any data that has been downloaded to the drive cannot be penetrated by an unauthorized person," adds
Brad Anderson, director of product marketing at Lexar Media. "DeviceLock provides the centralized control and internal policy enforcement
via USB ensuring that only authorized devices will be granted access, and only to the specified users."
DeviceLock software prevents employees from using their personal devices to siphon off valued information beyond the scope of their jobs and
outside the guidelines of IT security policy. Featuring a comprehensive central management platform that is fully integrated with Microsoft Active
Directory® Group Policy, DeviceLock software enables security administrators to precisely control, monitor, shadow-copy, log, and analyze end-user
access to all types of devices and local ports on their workstations. It also automatically blocks operations of any hardware keyloggers - devices
that covertly track user keystrokes - thereby capturing passwords, user IDs, credit card numbers, and other private information. The software
proactively protects against data leakage via the local ports as well as corporate network infiltration by computer viruses, spyware, or other
malicious software known as malware. This added layer of protection significantly reduces business risks resulting from insider errors, malicious
actions, or negligence.
"This alignment with Lexar is welcomed by customers like Armanino McKenna, because it simplifies their job of putting together a full data security
approach," explains David Matthiesen, director of sales at DeviceLock, Inc. "It's a continuation of our strategy to work with encryption providers
and device makers to offer the best and most secure solution to protect against data leakage."
