BlockMaster invites application, server and device vendors to become SafeConsoleReady and take portable data security to the next level
February 2011 by Marc Jacob
BlockMaster announces SafeConsoleReady, an open invitation to third-party manufacturers of applications, servers and devices to join forces and collaborate. Technology partners can now sign up to integrate new brands of secure USB drives and devices to work with BlockMaster’s SafeConsole management system, access SafeConsole from third-party interfaces and bundle additional portable software which can then be rolled out to new or existing SafeConsoleReady devices.
The SafeConsoleReady brand and program will ensure that BlockMaster partner products work efficiently with SafeConsole management tools and are able to offer customers all the security and management benefits of SafeConsole.
Anders Kjellander, CSO, BlockMaster comments: “Technology partners can look forward to offering a broader portfolio of functionality to their customers including managed secure USB drives. This will add value and diversity.”
Currently there are three product categories within the SafeConsoleReady program:
· SafeConsoleReady Applications
· SafeConsoleReady Servers
· SafeConsoleReady Devices
SafeConsoleReady Applications can be push-delivered to new or existing managed SafeConsoleReady devices, allowing organisations to provision USB devices with company-specific applications on-demand.
SafeConsoleReady Servers from interested third-party vendors and integrators are offered a controlled and secure way to allow joint customers access to their SafeConsole server features from external third-party interfaces. The server offering allows ease of integration towards the SafeConsole management server with straightforward secure server-to-server communication.
SafeConsoleReady Devices can enable secure devices to become managed by SafeConsole, either out-of-the-box or through in-the-field updates. Industry leader Kingston is the first third-party provider of SafeConsoleReady Devices.
