WinMagic Launches SecureDoc 4.5 End Point Encryption Solution at RSA Europe (Booth #72)

SecureDoc 4.5 provides full support for Seagate Momentus encrypted hard drives and seamless integration with multi-factor authentication devices and removable media

Mississauga, Ontario, October 23, 2008 – WinMagic® (www.winmagic.com) today announced that it will officially launch SecureDoc 4.5 at the RSA Conference Europe, held in London, England from October 27-29. WinMagic, at booth #72, will demonstrate SecureDoc 4.5’s improved management capabilities, seamless integration with a wide variety of multi-factor authentication devices and removable media, and full support for Seagate® Momentus® FDE drives.

SecureDoc 4.5 introduces new functionality which simplifies the generation of licenses to make it easier for administrators to manage software distribution & deployment. Management is further simplified as administrators can now import users, groups and files straight from Microsoft Active Directory.

SecureDoc 4.5 also supports an even wider variety of removable storage media and multi-factor authentication solutions, including IronKey USB flash drives and UPEK’s biometric fingerprint scanners which are included on Dell 630 and 830 laptops and Dell Vostro 200 desktop. Other new supported tokens include the DKR601 GemPC serial reader, the iKey 4000, the integrated smartcard reader in Dell keyboards and the IBM T60 with Data Key smart cards. In addition, SecureDoc 4.5 is compatible with Computrace security software.

“By providing full support for the Seagate® Momentus® FDE hard drives and a wide variety of removable media, SecureDoc 4.5 secures sensitive data assets where they are most vulnerable – on mobile computers and portable storage media,” said Thi Nguyen-Huu, CEO of WinMagic Data Security. “WinMagic has worked tirelessly with major third-party developers to make it easy for organizations to protect all data on all end-point devices without inconveniencing the user.”

SecureDoc 4.5’s new Port Control functionality provides enhanced data leakage protection by ensuring that only authorized USB devices can access a protected system. Port Control policies can be configured by administrators both locally via SecureDoc Control Center and globally via SecureDoc Enterprise Server (SES).

Other new functionality includes enhanced audit logs within SES (including the ability to display audit log history for objects, such as folders, computers, users, key, packages, and the recycling bin); full support for the new IBM T60’s hibernation mode; support for RSA encryption on USB devices; and improved single sign-on support (when a user performs a challenge/response at boot, SecureDoc will automatically login to Windows and ask the user to change their SecureDoc password).

SecureDoc 4.5 is now shipping to customers worldwide.
