SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 4, 2016) - SPYRUS, Inc. today announced the Secure Portable Workplace™ (SPW) as a highly cost effective, upgraded replacement for the discontinued Kingston/Ironkey W500 Workspace bootable USB drive for Windows To Go. The SPW shares many of the same features of the SPYRUS family of USB 3.0 SSD class live drives in support of Windows To Go including seamless integration with the SPYRUS Enterprise Management System (SEMS) for remote management of the devices. The SPW features high assurance, hardware-based, full-disk XTS-AES-256 bit encryption coupled with enhanced user authentication and integrity checking fully integrated into the boot up process. The SPW is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified by NIST with certificates 1302, 2390, and 2685; and share the SPYRUS USB 3.0 drive family's same MIL-810 tested packaging along with an unprecedented selection of capabilities and features in sizes from 32 GB through 1 TB. The SPW has been fielded in multi-thousand seat deployments across a wide range of PCs to include older Windows 7 platforms through the latest Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book.
"The product discontinuance of the Kingston/Ironkey W500 series has left customers without a suitable solution for Windows To Go deployments for mobile applications, contractor and traveler scenarios, disaster recovery, and Continuity of Operation," said Tom Dickens, SPYRUS COO. "The Secure Portable Workplace provides an extremely cost effective solution for enterprises from SMB through large scale multinational global corporations. The enhanced features of the SPW include the ability to configure optional data vault compartments for secure data storage and an optional read only mode which helps protect against malware attacks on the operating system and applications."
The SPYRUS Secure Portable Workplace offering maintains across-the-board compatibility with the optional SPYRUS Enterprise Management System (SEMS). With SEMS device management, enterprise administrators can centrally register, block/unblock, revoke, set policies, audit, and "kill" the SPYRUS SPW as well as other SPYRUS devices including all other members of the Windows To Go drive family, PocketVault 3-X™ and Rosetta® TrustedFlash™ microSDHC devices. The latest versions of SEM 4.5 feature Active Directory integration and support for globally distributed domains and privileges. SPYRUS SEMSaaS allows enterprises to employ a "cloud based SEMS" without standing up their own servers.
