Key-logging Hardware Protection Breakthrough
February, 2006
Reflex Magnetics, a leading provider of IT security solutions for organisations worldwide, has today announced that it has developed a technology to prevent criminals from recording data by planting a key-logging hardware device in USB ports.
Hardware key-logging devices can be used to bypass security software when attached between a keyboard and a computer.
"This is a real breakthrough in the fight against fraudsters who will exploit any vulnerability to extract valuable company and personal information," said Andy Campbell, managing director, Reflex Magnetics. "By introducing this cutting-edge technology into our products, we will be able to protect customers against one of the last truly unprotected vulnerabilities. We will be able to send real-time alerts to systems administrators so that immediate action can be taken to remove any rogue devices before they can be reclaimed with the valuable data."
This new technology will complement the existing ability of Reflex Magnetics’ Disknet Pro product to block software key-loggers before they have the opportunity to be installed and used. Reflex Disknet Pro will incorporate this new technology in the near future. For further product information please visit reflex-magnetics.com.
