InZero Unveils World's First Truly Secure Computer


WASHINGTON, Nov 17, 2009 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- New technology offers freedom from fear in an increasingly digital world InZero Systems announced the launch of revolutionary new computer hardware that eliminates the threat of network-originated data compromises and virus attacks at a panel discussion on cybersecurity. This new technology (see photo of the groundbreaking device) unveiled at the National Press Club by InZero Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Louis Hughes, walls off intrusions and viruses, while allowing full access to the outside world; providing secure communication and freedom from fear of intrusion, loss of data, and intellectual property theft. Mr. Hughes, former President and COO of Lockheed Martin and Executive Vice President of General Motors, was joined by General Wesley K. Clark (Ret.), Chairman of the Advisory Board, InZero Systems; Adam Hils, Principal Research Analyst, Gartner; and Phil Zimmerman, Creator of PGP and one of the top 50 tech visionaries according to PC World.

"The national security of the United States is increasingly dependent on our ability to safeguard vital information," said General Wesley Clark (Ret.). "As terrorism and espionage continue to gain footholds in the digital world, we must be prepared to face the onslaught of cyber attacks our nation and economy experience on a daily basis. The technology unveiled by InZero Systems today promises to be a key part of our digital defense." The InZero Secure PC changes the security paradigm by providing essentially "two computers in one:" a standard computing module and a secure "InZero Gateway" module. The InZero Gateway module is directly connected to the internet. It isolates and hosts potentially dangerous network applications, processes incoming and outgoing files and transfers files to and from the computing module, which is permanently offline. This dual-module approach ensures the PC is secure while maintaining the capability to send and receive emails, process attachments, browse the internet, and download/upload documents.

"Today's computer hardware is not designed to simultaneously address the security challenges of the internet while facilitating the rapid flow of information in our digital economy," said Louis Hughes, Chairman and CEO of InZero Systems. "Attempts to deploy security software fixes to remedy the situation have led to a constant game of catch-up between hackers and IT security companies -- with no end in sight. Until now. For the first time, by deploying InZero hardware, you will finally be free to safely go anywhere you want on the internet." Beyond the secure PC, InZero Gateway modules can be interconnected to create secure networks, allow organizations to effortlessly extend their perimeters, and allow secure remote access (no matter how many viruses are on the remote PC). These modules can also create a secure internet by providing trusted connections between unfamiliar partners, based on the use of InZero technology. This can serve as a foundation for secure direct communications, secure cloud computing, secure grid computing, secure social networks, and secure online applications.
