Data Loss Prevention is such a KEY arena, particularly here in the UK since the Information Commissioner Richard Thomas has been granted greater powers of investigation, and audit, this is a significant growth area.

MXI Security’s product line the MXP family of portable security devices is designed to meet today’s security challenges and is breaking new ground in making security portable.

Large enterprises and governments demand USB mass storage devices that can easily address the stringent security and privacy requirements of regulations such as HIPAA, SOX and GLB, as well as protect organizations against intentional or accidental information leakage and breaches of security due to weak authentication and control of digital identities. Only MXP portable security devices address these specific security issues for organizations while simplifying identity management to meet strong authentication, single sign on, PKI, and remote access needs.
