April 24, 2012 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
LONDON - BlockMaster, a leader within managed secure USB drive solutions, announces that an RSA SecurID® software client is available as a SafeConsoleReady Application. The RSA SecurID authentication client is remotely deployed through SafeConsole, the central management server on demand over the Internet, onto managed SafeConsoleReady secure storage USB drives. The solutions interoperability is certified by RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE: EMC), and helps bring BlockMaster and RSA customers cost-savings and the added convenience of secure storage and one-time password authentication combined in one single managed device.

Customers can choose to deliver additional software beyond the RSA SecurID software client to their managed secure storage devices such as portable virtual desktop software, portable VPN clients or portable secure browsing software. Usage scenarios include secure online banking and secure access to corporate networks and email systems.

The RSA SecurID software client is designed to run from any SafeConsoleReady Device. A wide selection of SafeConsoleReady hardware-encrypted secure USB drives are offered by Kingston, CMS Products and Giesecke & Devrient Secure Flash Solutions which also offers smartcard-enabled devices.

Trials can be requested at www.safeconsole.com.

The RSA SecurID software client will be included from BlockMaster at no additional charge with the installation or upgrade to SafeConsole software version 4.2 or higher – note that a separate commercial license and server from RSA is required.

Come see us at Infosecurity Europe 2012 in London from 24-16 April at BlockMaster's booth (#F80) to learn more about our solutions.
