Imation Enhances The Encrypted USB Extension Software for McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator

Imation Corp. (NYSE: IMN), a global scalable storage and data security company, announced availability of its new Encrypted USB extension software for McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator® (McAfee ePO™), the first significant upgrade since McAfee transitioned its Encrypted USB device business to Imation last month.

Information stored on even the world’s most secure devices can be left vulnerable without a way to centrally track and manage USB devices – leaving organizations potentially exposed to unauthorized access, data loss and regulatory noncompliance. Imation integrates the majority of its line of encrypted USB devices directly with McAfee ePO™ software, allowing enterprises and government organizations to deploy, track and manage encrypted USB devices centrally from a single console.

Imation’s EUSB 2.0 extension software for McAfee ePO enables centralized management of Imation Defender secure USB drives by allowing administrators to enforce encryption and access policies on USB drives, providing extensive control over how employees handle confidential data.

New enhancements to the software include:

• Expanded device support for devices that can be managed using McAfee ePO, including Imation Defender devices and MXI Security Stealth M550 devices.
• The addition of client-side EUSB components fully localized in Japanese and German.
• For US Government customers, those using newer 2048-bit Common Access Cards (CAC) or Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards can now use them as part of their Imation security solution.

Imation offers the industry’s broadest portfolio of secure mobile storage products and solutions, including trusted FIPS-validated portable storage devices, digital identity products, secure mobile workspaces, and both cloud-based and on-premises management software solutions.

Imation has integrated industry leading data security assets as part of its strategic focus on the growing data security market, including acquisition of certain assets of ENCRYPTX and MXI Security, and the secure hardware business of IronKey. As a result, Imation has assembled a set of best-of-breed technologies that enable the easy and secure transport of data, digital identities and user workspaces using a wide range of mobile storage media.
