BeCrypt: BeCrypt announces launch of BeCrypt Media Client, its CD/USB
media/file encryption solution; BeCrypt is able to provide approved
data security and data handling solutions to meet requirements for
transformational Government
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:13082008
BeCrypt's newly developed CD/USB media/file zero footprint' encryption
solution, BeCrypt Media Client will be available from 1 September.
BeCrypt Media Client is currently going through CAPS approval and in
addition, FIPS 140-2 approval is expected later in the year. The early
availability of BeCrypt Media Client gives Government departments and
other public sector bodies that need to adhere to Data Handling
requirements an easy upgrade path to a CAPS approved solution. BeCrypt
Media Client will be the first zero footprint' encryption solution for
CD/USB media to gain CAPS approval.
With its suite of encryption products BeCrypt already offers solutions
that provide protection for data at rest on laptops, desktops and USB
devices suitable for Impact Levels 1 to 4 and Impact Level 5 (short
term). BeCrypt Media Client with CD, USB media and flash file
encryption extends BeCrypt's solution to ensure the integrity of data
and enable its secure sharing with authorised third parties. BeCrypt
Media Client operates with a zero footprint' on the device itself so
that authorised recipients can access data without needing to have the
BeCrypt software installed, they simply need to successfully complete
the authentication process.
Initially BeCrypt Media Client will provide CD, USB media and file
encryption as a stand alone solution. However, subsequent versions
will see BeCrypt Media Client integrated with a unified, policy based,
client side data security solution with a range of enterprise
management options. BeCrypt's product road map includes a client side
solution that provides data encryption (using FIPS libraries for
commercial installations and Impact Levels 2 and below, CAPS approved
DISK Protect Baseline for Impact Level 3 and CAPS approved DISK Protect
Enhanced for Impact Level 4 and 5 short term), port control/end point
security, and removable media encryption (for CDs, DVDs and USB
devices).
Marc Hocking , Chief Technology Officer at BeCrypt said, "We have
listened to our customers requirements and we work closely with the UK
Government to develop workable and innovative solutions to meet their
stringent requirements. With the development of BeCrypt Media Client
CD/USB media/file encryption we are extending our range to cover most
requirements for Government and public sector data security.
"Our commercial customers also benefit from this approach as they have
access
to flexible solutions with the government heritage and all the checks
and safety measures that this implies."
A technical preview of BeCrypt Media Client is now available for
evaluation with FIPS libraries. This will be fully upgradeable to the
CAPS approved version when it is available.
