New Delhi: Alcatel-Lucent announced a joint solution with McAfee Inc. that integrates the Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian (NLG) with McAfee Endpoint Encryption software, delivering a mobile security solution for lost and stolen laptops.
Shekhar Agrawal, director enterprise & verticals-South Asia, Alcatel-Lucent, said, “With tens of thousands of laptops lost or stolen each year, it is important that customers have the most advanced solution available to protect their data. The combination of the Alcatel-Lucent always on OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian, along with McAfee Endpoint Encryption software, will allow enterprise IT managers to protect lost and stolen laptops because of its strong encryption with remote capabilities and GPS location for laptop recovery.”
Frank Jorissen, vice president international business development with McAfee’s data protection business unit, stated, “The OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian provides a new dimension to enhancing the user authentication of McAfee Data Protection products. While McAfee already supports the widest range and variety of authentication devices available on the market, this card has truly unique features. The NLG behaves as a remotely controlled ‘ignition key’ for laptops. When lost or stolen, a remote administrator can wipe critical user keys and force the laptop to reboot to the pre-boot logon screen, keeping all data totally beyond compromise.”
