SkyRecon Data Encryption Gets Top 5-Star Rating in SC Magazine Review
SAN JOSE, CA, Jul 13 (MARKET WIRE) --
SkyRecon(R) Systems (www.skyrecon.com) today announced that its
StormShield Flexible Data Encryption 5.1 received an overall rating of
five out of five stars in a group test that evaluated eight competitive
data encryption products. The results were published in the July issue of
SC Magazine.
SkyRecon's StormShield Flexible Data Encryption 5.1 is a client-server
structured software solution that provides file- and folder-based
encryption to host machines.
The review stated in its verdict: "Overall, StormShield is good value for
the money."
The review also stated that SkyRecon's encryption works well with Active
Directory and went on to say how "the product's integration with Active
Directory was seamless, and we were able to import users based on entire
directories, OUs, groups or individuals."
Other points SC Magazine emphasized included:
-- "Policy management covers all the expected basics."
-- "Removable media is protected as well, via a passcode created by the
enduser."
-- "The client software is configured within the management console and
is pushed via SMS or downloaded from a web browser interface."
-- "Administrators must perform a 'check out' and 'check in' operation
any time they want to create a change in policy."
-- "Good integration with top NAC vendors."
The SC Magazine review highlighted StormShield version 5.1 for
"missing whole disk encryption support." However company officials
announced that version 5.2 with full-disk development is nearly complete
and should be available within the next month. Details of the complete
encryption offering can be found at http://skyrecon.com/encryption.
SC Magazine concluded with, "Since most of the products can deploy some
sort of strong encryption scheme to protect your data, the decision
criteria for purchasing isn't the algorithms, but the ease in which
clients are deployed and managed."
