RedCannon Delivers Mobile Citrix ICA Client With Complete Remote Access Security on USB Appliance14 October 2005
RedCannon Security, a leader in
securing the mobile endpoint, today introduced Fireball KeyPoint(TM) for
Citrix Access Suite(TM), a centrally managed USB memory appliance integrates
with the Citrix(R) ICA(R) Client for enterprise users. KeyPoint provides the
ability to connect to the Citrix Access Suite without installing any drivers
or downloading software on a remote computer that is not under the control by
the enterprise. KeyPoint immediately scans the foreign computer to identify
malicious Spyware and Trojans as a way to prevent ID and password theft.
KeyPoint strengthens remote access with the integration of RSA SoftID
two-factor authentication for use with the Citrix Access Suite. RedCannon is
offering Fireball KeyPoint with a combined secure endpoint suite that includes
the Citrix ICA Client, RSA SecurID software token, spyware scanning, a stealth
browser, a secure e-mail client and an encryption vault, all of which create a
secure remote access environment. KeyPoint is the only product that offers all
of these features on a single USB memory device.
"RedCannon's Keypoint is a great example of how the Citrix platform can be
extended to provide a comprehensive security solution for remote access," said
Chris Fleck, Vice President of Partner Development, Citrix Systems. "With the
Keypoint security features and embedded Citrix ICA client, enterprises can
safely provide access from otherwise un-trusted PC's. In addition to the user
convenience of not lugging a laptop everywhere, corporations can save on
laptop costs as well as gain enhanced productivity by enabling additional
employees with safe remote access. "
"Creating an instant secure workspace before establishing a Citrix
session, eliminates the vulnerability of enterprise data falling in wrong
hands," said Vimal Vaidya, CEO of RedCannon, "The combination of a clean
environment, ICA client, built-in 2-factor authentication, and secure storage
on a single USB device makes KeyPoint a true on-the-go solution for enterprise
users needing Citrix remote access."
KeyPoint provides a secure environment on any point, anywhere. Secure by
design, enterprise IT managers can now deploy a mobile USB memory appliance
with Citrix that is an alternate for taking a laptop on the road.
Organizations with KeyPoint can simplify and consolidate their remote access
solution into one device while saving money and increasing network security.
KeyPoint provides administrative features that ensure data is secure,
including auto-destruct if the device is ever lost; self-diagnosis of its
software. Auditing procedures can include usage and violation reports, policy
and compliance audits or forensic analysis. All the logs are signed and
encrypted XML files.
Key features of KeyPoint for Citrix include:
-- Citrix ICA Client -- enables users to have an always-on connection to
information -- whether data, voice or people. Secure by design, the
Citrix Access Suite consolidates access into a central location for
more efficient management and effective control. On KeyPoint, the
Citrix ICA client can be preconfigured for the Citrix Access Suite and
does not require installation of drivers or software on the host
machine.
-- RSA SoftID -- Used in conjunction with RSA(R) Authentication Manager
software, an RSA SecurID authenticator functions like an ATM card for
a company network, requiring users to identify themselves with two
unique factors -- something they know (a password or PIN), and
something they have (such as an RedCannnon KeyPoint appliance
token) -- before they are granted access to secure business
information.
-- Auto-Launch -- creates an instant secure environment on any Windows
2000 or XP operating system without installing drivers or software.
-- Encrypted Data Vault With File Compression -- enables users to protect
sensitive information using 256-bit AES file encryption by simply
dragging and dropping files into the secure data vault on the
appliance. Files and folders are automatically compressed up to 8
times, allowing for more storage than available on regular flash
storage devices. RedCannon is in the final NIST lab certification
process for FIPS140-2 certification.
-- Tracking, Auditing And Reporting For Compliance -- A log file of
KeyPoint activities are automatically recorded and "stored forward" to
the Fireball Manager. Network security administrators can run detailed
reports against each KeyPoint appliance by time, usage, and
violations. This granular forensic analysis conforms to many
regulatory compliance initiatives.
Demonstration and Availability
RedCannon Security will be showcasing the features of KeyPoint for Citrix
at the Citrix iForum(TM) Global show in Las Vegas, Nevada, on October 9-11 in
the security pavilion -- booth 7-G. Fireball KeyPoint is available for
