A loss prevention device, SecurLock is a USB key/software solution
for Windows 2000 and XP. (Note: key in photo indicates scale and
is not part of SecurLock system). When inserted into a USB port
on your system, it performs user logon authentication, file encryption,
and storage for all of your passwords and logon profiles. It can
store this type of information for several users on the same system.
If the “key” is removed from the USB port, you will
be prompted to insert it when you boot the computer. If you insert
it before turning on the system, or did not remove it when you last
shut down the computer, you’ll be prompted to type in the
PIN you selected during setup. The computer can’t be accessed
at all without the SecurLock USB key.
As well, SecurLock blocks access after three incorrect PIN attempts.
At this point, only an administrator can unblock it. Of course,
if you’ve installed SecurLock on a stand-alone system that
only you use , you are the administrator.
Right-clicking also offers the option of locking a file for transfer
on floppy disk or by email, or making it self-extracting. Simply
right-click, select the encryption or lock you want, and choose
a password. To read the file, the recipient must also know the password.
The Single Sign-On (SSO) feature allows you to store all your logon
names and passwords in one encrypted location. Each identity is
stored under an icon with individual names. When you go to a Web
site that requires a login, simply drag and drop the appropriate
icon onto the Web page and click to enter rather than typing in
a name and password.
Unlike some USB keys, SecurLock is internally shielded to protect
it from static electricity damage. |
