| Source: SkyRecon Systems
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - April 8, 2008) - RSA Conference - SkyRecon Systems
(www.skyrecon.com), the makers of StormShield, a single agent, single
console, and single policy endpoint security solution, today announced the
availability of ClearShield™ Privacy Edition, a personal consumer
product that provides personal information protection, preventing identity
and data theft via hackers and portable external hard drives and media
players. Announced today as an 'early look' limited availability release,
the product is available for a 60-day trial period to the first 500 users
who request their invitation and download it from
http://myclearshield.com/en/content-download/.
ClearShield Privacy Edition uses a select set of proven technologies from
SkyRecon's award-winning StormShield enterprise solution. ClearShield is
designed to give consumers a single personal information protection product
to protect their confidential files from being viewed, regardless of
whether the laptop is hacked, lost, or stolen. ClearShield can thwart file
theft by controlling the use of external drives and other removable devices
such as MP3 players and USB thumb drives, ensuring files stay in the
owner's hands.
"Using SkyRecon ClearShield Privacy Edition, should anyone lose their
laptop, those files that were marked as confidential are encrypted by
ClearShield, requiring a key to unscramble the data," said Sean Martin,
CISSP, SkyRecon VP of Marketing. "The laptop itself may never be returned
however the personal information residing in the laptop is forever
protected."
ClearShield's powerful encryption technology protects folders and files
that are marked confidential by the user. With ClearShield protection in
place, no thief can gain access to the confidential data contained in the
user's personally encrypted files.
ClearShield provides additional security features by protecting user
passwords, account information, and other personal information from spyware
programs and keylogging attempts made by hackers.
In addition to unveiling ClearShield Privacy Edition, SkyRecon will also be
demonstrating Version 5.0 of StormShield, its multi-layered Windows system
and data protection solution. SkyRecon experts will be on hand for
demonstrations through the week of April 11th, 2008, in Booth #951 in the
Microsoft Partner Pavilion at the RSA conference in San Francisco. For more
