Imagine LAN Enhances Leave No Trace™ Security within P. I. Protector™ Mobility Suite
Leave No Trace Powerful Privacy Protection Technology Ensures Total Security for USB Flash Drive Users - When Using Shared PCs for Internet Browsing, Portable Email and File Access
(PRWEB) November 10, 2003
Nashua, NH,(PRWEB) November 10, 2003 – imagine LAN, Inc., a leading provider of mobility, system health and security solutions for mobile professionals and “on the go” users of USB flash drives, today announced a major enhancement to its Leave No Trace™ privacy protection technology. Leave No Trace, a key component of the company’s P. I. Protector Mobility Suite, now offers additional protection against identity theft by prohibiting spy ware programs such as Registry-based key logging software from intercepting and capturing keystroke data such as passwords and account information.
Imagine LAN’s P. I. Protector Mobility Suite is a set of software components that enable mobile professionals and multiple PC users to create a portable PC environment—one in which a USB flash drive loaded with the appropriate software can turn any PC into their own “virtual system.” Using this approach, a user can take the their flash drive, plug it into any Internet-connected system and operate the guest PC as if it were their own, with access to their entire personal computing environment—files, email, Internet, and other settings, with full security and protection of their personal information. All data throughout the entire session that would normally be stored on the hard drive—such as cookies, passwords, URLs, etc.—is redirected to the USB flash drive, which prevents any information from reaching the hard drive of the system being used. However, in the past, Registry-based key loggers posed a threat to privacy protection because they were able to capture keystroke data being entered during a guest session.
“P. I. Protector was initially developed, in part, to combat the risks and dangers of using public Internet terminals at cyber cafes, airports, libraries and other establishments,” says Jan Olsen, vice president of marketing and sales at imagine LAN. “The expanded technologies in our enhanced Leave No Trace feature now offer extremely reliable protection against identity theft because it eliminates the exposure to many of the typical risks, especially Registry-based key loggers, that can often lead to identity theft.”
