McAfee and MXI Security announced that they would join forces to provide
government organizations with secure, portable devices backed by enterprise risk
management software. Together the companies will empower federal, state and
local agencies with unparalleled portable security for their most sensitive data
and technology systems.
McAfee will deliver the McAfee Zero Footprint Bio device and the McAfee
Encrypted Hard Disk to government customers.
The McAfee devices are based on MXI Security's Stealth MXP, the first-ever
FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated portable security device, and its Outbacker MXP
hard disk device. Both companies will offer the public sector centrally
controlled management software through McAfee Encrypted USB Manager and MXI
Security's ACCESS Enterprise software suite. The offerings combine the best of
both companies' industry-leading software and hardware, featuring today's
most advanced hard disk encryption, pre-boot authentication, data loss
prevention, network intrusion prevention, portable encrypted mass storage, and
mobility for digital credentials.
“The combination of McAfee and MXI Security brings together the most
stringent security technology available to protect our nation's most critical
information and systems,” said Mike Carpenter, senior vice president of McAfee's
Public Sector. “As a trusted security advisor to the federal government,
McAfee's dedicated government sales force will deliver a combined security
solution that fulfills government mandates for improved national security and
mission-critical operations at home and abroad.”
“We are delighted to team with McAfee. This relationship complements MXI
Security's long-term commitment to developing and manufacturing the most
advanced portable security hardware and software solutions available on the
market,” said Julian Reusing, President, North America, MXI Security. “The
combined product offering from our two entities provides the customer with
state-of-the-art security solutions from the back office to the end point.”
McAfee is a select partner on the GSA SmartBUY Program for Data at Rest
through the SafeBoot brand, which McAfee recently acquired. MXI Security
provides enterprise-class devices that combine secure storage with corporate
identity and access management services. McAfee Encrypted USB is easy to manage
and protected by strong multifactor biometric and password authentication, with
256-bit AES hardware based encryption.
