GT Security Debuts SecuriKey version 2.1, Featuring Complete Data Security
for Mac OS X Leopard
Award Winning Security Technology Provides Integrated Encryption & Strong
Authentication for the Mac
LAWRENCE, KS (March 4th, 2008) — GT Security, a leading provider of laptop
and computer information security solutions for data protection and user
authentication, announced today the launch of the new SecuriKey v2.1. Now
with Mac OS X Leopard support, SecuriKey v2.1 features the only integrated
AES encryption and multi-factor authentication solution designed for the
Mac. This combination of strong, two-factor authentication and AES data
encryption provides total security for mobile data on MacBooks and
PowerBooks and can be used to lock down important information on Mac
desktops and servers, too.
“Good data security shouldn’t get in the way of how you use a computer. It
should simply help keep you and your data safe. SecuriKey v2.1 is a
terrific, easy to use solution that provides excellent security for mobile
Macs with elegant simplicity,” said Bennett Griffin, CEO of GT Security.
SecuriKey combines USB token and password technologies with AES data
encryption on the hard drive to provide totally secure, yet user-friendly
computer access control and data protection. The product works essentially
as an “ignition key” for the user’s Mac notebook or desktop — simply
insert the token in any available USB slot, enter the correct password, and
access to the computer is granted. Remove the token, and SecuriKey’s
Continuous Protection automatically locks the computer. SecuriKey v2.1 also
includes the SecuriKey Encrypted Volume for maximum data protection. The
SecuriKey Encrypted Volume utilizes industrial strength AES encryption to
protect important information. It functions as a second, fully encrypted
hard drive and it can only be opened with the combination of the correct
SecuriKey USB Token and the correct password.
SecuriKey v2.1 is available in two editions. SecuriKey Professional v2.1 is
designed for fast, single-user deployments. SecuriKey Pro Multi-User v2.1
is designed for group deployments and provides meaningful administrative
control without the IT complexities of back end infrastructure. Both
SecuriKey editions support Mac OS X Leopard and Mac OS X Tiger, as well as
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Windows Vista support is planned for
April, 2008.
SecuriKey Professional v2.1 and SecuriKey Pro Multi-User v2.1 are currently
shipping worldwide. To purchase any of the SecuriKey products, call
