Posted on: Monday, 10 April 2006, 09:00 CDT

MXI Security(TM), a provider of portable security devices, today announced a new direction in the USB mass storage industry with the launch of the MXP product family. The new devices combine the power of secure storage with digital identity, cryptography, and strong authentication services and are specifically designed to address current security challenges faced by large enterprises and government organizations. MXI Security's portable security devices enable organizations to use multiple security applications using a single device with reduced complexity and more portability than other solutions.

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.

"MXI Security is offering a new direction in the security market. It is based on the integration of our many years of expertise in the storage industry and best practices from the security industry," said Lawrence Reusing, CEO, MXI Security.
