BeCrypt and RSA join forces.

BeCrypt has announced that it has joined the RSA Secured[R] Partner Program to certify interoperability between its DISK Protect[R] v4.2 Standard data security solution and the RSA SecurID[R] SID800 hardware token and RSA[R] Smart Card 5200. DISK Protect v4.2 Standard is the latest version of BeCrypt's full disk encryption solution, which has many additional features such as providing more flexible use of removable media devices and secure, automated removal of encryption keys allowing the safe decommissioning of computers that may have held sensitive data. DISK Protect secures the data on desktop and laptop PCs with three layers of security, full disk encryption, strong pre-boot authentication and optional removable media encryption, without any noticeable impact on performance. Full disk encryption is performed transparently on the fly, avoiding the risk that the user may forget to encrypt sensitive files. Pre-boot authentication allows DISK Protect to encrypt the operating system and prevent data being accessed with low level tools. Removable media encryption secures data on USB and other connected devices. The solution is as simple to use as entering a password, but significantly more secure. Used in conjunction with RSA[R] Authentication Manager software, an RSA SecurID authenticator is engineered to function like an ATM card for a company network, requiring users to identify themselves with two unique factors--something they know (a password or PIN), and something they have (such as an RSA SecurID hardware authenticator in the form of a token)--before they are granted access to secure business information.www.rsa.com/rsasecured
