Wave Announces Windows 8 Readiness
February 2012 by Marc Jacob
Wave Systems Corp. announced future Wave development of value-added security solutions for Windows 8. Windows 8 has innovative security features for better malware protection and takes an integrated approach to strong authentication and encryption.
Wave plans to provide Windows 8 support for its solutions that utilize hardware-based security components such as the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and Encrypted Drives (eDrives). As part of the roadmap, Wave will develop attestation capabilities using the TPM that increase the trust level for online transactions and confirm the reliability of computer health metrics. Wave software enhances deployment scenarios for TPM-based features while extending the capabilities to previous Windows operating systems.
Enterprises with the earlier versions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating systems can also benefit from hardware-security available on the market today. Wave manages more SED seats in the enterprise than any other independent software vendor. The single largest TPM deployment in the world — with over 80,000 machines activated — is also a Wave customer.
Wave is a founding member of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG), a not-for-profit consortium committed to developing, defining and promoting open industry standards.
