RedCannon Security Provides First and Only FIPS 140-2 Level 1 Certified Storage Solution for USB Devices
FREMONT, Calif., May 23, 2007 – RedCannon Security, a trusted provider of centrally-managed, secure mobile-access solutions for the enterprise, today announced that its KeyPoint Vault™ system is the first and only portable USB software storage solution to gain full approval from the General Services Administration (GSA) for Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Level 1. This certification assures that the encryption and deletion of files in the KeyPoint system has been certified to perform at the highest level.
RedCannon KeyPoint Vault is the only solution that combines the power of standards-based, military-grade software encryption and storage with centralized management to ensure that privacy is maintained by automatically encrypting all files and locking out compromised devices. End-users are able to maintain productivity in the field, with the assurance that the data they carry and use will not be compromised.
“The House Government Oversight and Reform Committee gave the federal government a grade of C-minus for 2006 as part of its annual evaluation of how well information is protected on government computers,” said John Jefferies, vice president of marketing at RedCannon. “We believe the enforcement of more stringent mobile security policies is a necessary step in improving these rankings. RedCannon’s comprehensive solutions and FIPS certification demonstrate our ongoing commitment to aiding in the development, implementation, and operation of more secure information systems within the federal government.”
Staff education and centralized management of portable devices along with strong encryption, authentication and port control are all key elements of mobile data security programs. KeyPoint Vault enables the convenience of mobile storage while maintaining control and ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive information. If a USB storage device is lost or misplaced, the data may be deleted remotely or access to the device may be blocked. RedCannon KeyPoint Access combines encrypted storage and strong authentication on a single mobile device. Additionally, KeyPoint Manager tracks and logs all file activity, establishing a clear audit trail. Its flexible reporting helps organizations understand and analyze mobile storage usage, trends and patterns.
