Ensure Technologies, the award-winning leader in intelligent digital information security solutions, today announced that it has been nominated for the 2001 Bluetooth Congress Awards, which honor innovation in Bluetooth wireless technology. Ensure's XyLoc(TM) BT-1, the only patented wireless security solution designed to work with Bluetooth devices, has been short-listed for the Best Business Product or Application award. The awards ceremony will be held June 5, 2001 in Monte Carlo, and will open the Bluetooth Congress 2001, the official gathering of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG).

"We are honored to once again be recognized for our innovative wireless personalization and authentication solutions, and for our eagerness to help Bluetooth wireless technology become a successful wireless standard," said George Brostoff, co-founder and president of Ensure Technologies. "Ensure is committed to standards-based technologies - especially wireless standards. As Bluetooth continues to gain momentum around the globe, we are determined to help companies take advantage of this new technology as it becomes available."

XyLoc BT-1 is a patented, centrally managed, automatic computer security solution that prevents unauthorized access to confidential PC-based information, and simultaneously makes access to network services and applications more convenient for authorized users. XyLoc's full-time access control protects sensitive data when it is most vulnerable: after logon, when the authorized user steps away from the Bluetooth device for any reason.

Suited for professionals who need easy, yet secure, access to information "on the fly," XyLoc is proximity-activated and completely "hands-free," requiring no user interaction. Because it enables the device to know automatically and effortlessly who is requesting access to its resources, XyLoc offers security features and flexibility previously unavailable. XyLoc also simplifies PKI implementations and protects digital certificates stored on PCs increasing the security of e-commerce transactions.
