Danbury is Intel's Anti-Theft Technology:
Wave to Demonstrate Data Protection Using Intel® Anti-Theft Technology at Intel Developer Forum
Lee, MA & San Francisco, CA (Intel Developers Forum, Pro Zone, Booth #737) — August 20, 2008 — Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX; www.wave.com) announced today that it will demonstrate a pre-production data theft protection and remote, out-of-band management solution for platforms with Intel® vPro™ technology for enterprise and small to-mid-sized businesses (SMB).
Wave will showcase pre-production management and data protection capabilities for platforms with Intel® Anti-Theft Technology—advanced, integrated hardware-based security technology—using Wave EMBASSY Remote Administration Server (ERAS) and its client EMBASSY Trusted Drive Manager (TDM). Demonstrations will take place at Wave’s kiosk in the Pro Zone.
The prototype EMBASSY software demonstration will show how enterprises can roll out a fully integrated and managed solution for advanced hardware based data protection, allowing for pre-boot authentication, secure remote management and authenticated, remote unlock of encrypted data using industry standard serial ATA (SATA) disk drives. This combined solution will offer best-in-class security without the cost and management overhead of software based full disk encryption (FDE).
“Wave Systems is pleased to be working with companies like Intel in demonstrating powerful and flexible solutions to protect against data theft in a far more secure fashion,” said Steven Sprague, president and CEO of Wave Systems. “By combining upcoming Intel® vPro™ Technology platforms with ERAS, we plan to deliver what companies have been looking for in a PC to enable maximum security coupled with optimal manageability, which all begins at the hardware-based level.”
Wave demonstrations in the Pro Zone will also showcase Intel® Advanced Management Technology (AMT), which allows for out-of-band management and upcoming Intel® Anti-Theft Technology, which provides data protection working seamlessly together with the Wave EMBASSY suite of software.
“Taking advantage of upcoming capabilities of Intel vPro technology will enable Wave to deliver more secure hardware-based data protection solutions for large and small businesses alike,” said Tom Quillin, director, Intel Client Ecosystem Enabling.
In addition to its presence in the Intel® Pro Zone, Wave Systems will also have its ERAS technology on display for customers seeking to learn more about full disk encryption and data at rest security based on hardware FDE solutions from multiple vendors in various client and server-managed environments. These additional demonstrations will be held in a Wave meeting room on the third floor of Moscone Center West, August 19-21.
