FxSecure Key

March 2008 Information Security

FxSecure Key from RCG Systems SA is an anti-theft wireless card that provides fast Internet connectivity of up to 7,2 Mbps and also safeguards notebooks and data.

It protects confidential data in the event of a notebook being stolen. The wireless card securely stores files which can only be seen and accessed when an authorised FxSecure Key is used and properly logged into the USB port.

When the wireless card is unplugged, the notebook will automatically lock the secure files making them unable to be accessed. To unlock the computer, the FxSecure Key card is needed and a password sent to a pre-assigned mobile phone.

If the user so wishes, the computer can be controlled remotely via an SMS command to lock the computer, delete individual files or the entire virtual drive.

Designed to fit a standard ExpressCard slot, the FxSecure Key is a reliable and compact anti-theft device, measuring only 120 x 42 x 12 mm.
