Griffin Technologies Debuts SecuriKey Personal Edition

September 17, 2002 - Griffin Technologies, LLC, a leading provider of information security solutions for software protection and user authentication, today announced the availability of SecuriKey Personal Edition, the convenient and reliable way to control access to any laptop or desktop PC. Designed for "road warriors", Small Office/Home Office users, as well as families and individuals, SecuriKey Personal Edition combines an attractive, key-like token with sophisticated security technology to ensure professional-strength protection against unwanted PC use.

Easy to set up and configure, SecuriKey Personal Edition controls access to PC operating systems and user files even if the PC is lost or stolen. Access protection is especially critical for mobile users who carry valuable information on their laptops. With SecuriKey Personal Edition, even if a laptop is stolen, the PC's important and proprietary data remains safeguarded against unauthorized use.

A variety of access options and security protocols are available for SecuriKey including two-factor (token and password) user authentication; the technology also enables partial access without user authentication so children and others can use the PC without being able to open specific files or applications.

"SecuriKey Personal Edition is the new standard in computer and data security for anyone who needs dependable access protection," said Bennett Griffin, president and founder of Griffin Technologies. "Just as an ATM card and PIN provide reliable security at automatic teller machines, SecuriKey Personal Edition's token-plus-password system keeps a person's most valuable computer programs and data totally safe and secure. What's more, SecuriKey is simple to use-as convenient as putting a key into a lock."

User-Friendly, Flexible
SecuriKey's attractive USB token attaches to any key ring and easily plugs into a computer's USB (Universal Serial Bus) port or hub (USB 2.0 also supported). Each kit includes two SecuriKey USB tokens. The second token can be used as a backup token or configured to control access for a second individual.

With SecuriKey Personal Edition, users can safeguard sensitive, valuable, or proprietary information such as personal financial data, work documents, or important data archives. Adding to the product's flexibility is the ability to restrict access to files and folders, the Internet, or specific applications if the user wishes, while allowing the rest of the PC to be used normally. SecuriKey Personal Edition can be purchased through Griffin Technologies authorized resellers, a list of which can be found on the SecuriKey website, www.securikey.com. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price is $149.00, which includes two USB tokens, security software, and complete installation instructions. The product will also be available later this year at select retailers nationwide.

SecuriKey is also offered as an enterprise-level solution for corporations or other organizations who wish to protect their PCs both in the office and on the road. Volume pricing is available.
