Appliance-Based Solution Enables Enterprises to Transform Any USB Flash Drive and Remotely Update and Manage Security Policies, Content and User Activity.

RedCannon Security, a provider of centrally managed, secure mobile-access solutions for the enterprise, has announced KeyPoint Alchemy, a solution that transforms any USB flash drive into a RedCannon KeyPoint-enabled device that can be encoded, managed and tracked remotely.

Industry analyst firm IDC expects the number of mobile workers to reach more than 878 million globally by 2009, and IT departments today are under pressure to achieve the right balance between reduced risk and optimized employee productivity in support of these workers. There are millions of USB flash drives in the marketplace, but without advanced features including data encryption, remote-access authentication and manageability, these traditional drives leave enterprises extremely vulnerable to security threats and data leakage. RedCannon provides organizations with high-levels of control in an otherwise precarious situation.

KeyPoint Alchemy allows flexibility in device selection, as it transforms any existing USB device into a KeyPoint-enabled device and automatically updates applications, authentication tokens, security policies and content. Due to the portability of these devices, many organizations are reducing equipment costs by deploying them enterprise-wide as a laptop alternative - data can be easily carried from one workstation to another securely.

KeyPoint Alchemy provides a policy-driven environment for complete USB device life cycle management, including provisioning, password reset, and remote destruct. Rather than sealing up USB drives, and prohibiting the use of unknown computers, KeyPoint Alchemy enables organizations to manage the devices remotely to keep mobile users current, prevent unauthorized access and greatly reduce the risk of data loss.
