SkyRecon Data Encryption Gets Top 5-Star Rating in SC Magazine Review

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - July 13, 2009) - SkyRecon® Systems (www.skyrecon.com) today announced that its StormShield Flexible Data Encryption 5.1 received an overall rating of five out of five stars in a group test that evaluated eight competitive data encryption products. The results were published in the July issue of SC Magazine.

SkyRecon's StormShield Flexible Data Encryption 5.1 is a client-server structured software solution that provides file- and folder-based encryption to host machines.

The review stated in its verdict: "Overall, StormShield is good value for the money."

The review also stated that SkyRecon's encryption works well with Active Directory and went on to say how "the product's integration with Active Directory was seamless, and we were able to import users based on entire directories, OUs, groups or individuals."

Other points SC Magazine emphasized included:

--  "Policy management covers all the expected basics."
    
--  "Removable media is protected as well, via a passcode created by the
    enduser."
    
--  "The client software is configured within the management console and
    is pushed via SMS or downloaded from a web browser interface."
    
--  "Administrators must perform a 'check out' and 'check in' operation
    any time they want to create a change in policy."
    
--  "Good integration with top NAC vendors."
    

The SC Magazine review highlighted StormShield version 5.1 for "missing whole disk encryption support." However company officials announced that version 5.2 with full-disk development is nearly complete and should be available within the next month. Details of the complete encryption offering can be found at http://skyrecon.com/encryption.

SC Magazine concluded with, "Since most of the products can deploy some sort of strong encryption scheme to protect your data, the decision criteria for purchasing isn't the algorithms, but the ease in which clients are deployed and managed."
