SkyRecon Systems Joins SanDisk Enterprise Solutions Technology Alliance
SkyRecon to Verify Compatibility and Interoperability of Its Endpoint Security Solutions With SanDisk Secure USB Flash Drives
| Source: SkyRecon Systems
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - August 5, 2008) - SkyRecon® Systems (www.skyrecon.com), the
premier provider of integrated, proactive endpoint security solutions,
today announced that it has joined the SanDisk® Enterprise Solutions
Technology Alliance (SESTA). SESTA gives members the opportunity to test
the compatibility of their products with secure USB flash drives from
SanDisk, a leader in personal storage devices.
"We are delighted to welcome SkyRecon as a member of SESTA," said Ella
Taran Katz, senior manager for business development in the Enterprise
Division at SanDisk. "Enterprise IT managers will have a new level of
comfort in knowing that SkyRecon and SanDisk products work together,
without worrying about system conflicts or incompatibilities."
SkyRecon intends to evaluate its StormShield® endpoint security solution
under the SESTA partner testing guidelines. StormShield provides integrated
device control, data encryption, application control, host-based intrusion
prevention (HIPS), system firewall, wireless security, and network access
control (NAC). It is through these endpoint security layers that
StormShield provides comprehensive system security, data loss prevention,
zero-day protection, and enforceable access control, doing so using only a
few megabytes of memory, a fraction of the size of competing products in
the market.
"One of today's biggest IT security challenges is the widespread
availability of highly portable storage devices that can be used to carry
sensitive information," said Sean Martin, CISSP, SkyRecon VP of Marketing.
"Our StormShield unified endpoint security solution, combined with SanDisk
secure USB flash drives, can help organizations protect their sensitive
data from theft or misuse, even in the case of a lost or stolen USB drive."
SanDisk's flagship secure device is the Cruzer® Enterprise high-speed USB
flash drive with mandatory password protection and 256-bit AES
hardware-based encryption. Data stored on Cruzer Enterprise has virtually
ironclad protection against access by unauthorized users if the drive is
lost or stolen. More information on Cruzer Enterprise and SESTA is
available online (www.sandisk.com/sesta).
The combination of the SanDisk Cruzer line of secure USB flash drives and
SkyRecon's unified endpoint protection product StormShield gives
organizations the freedom to use their mobile data while protecting even
their most sensitive data at both the endpoint and on the removable devices
that connect to it. More information on StormShield's integrated device
control, file encryption, and policy control is available online
(http://skyrecon.com/stormshield).
