Softek Appointed SafeStick Distributor
London, May 25th 2008: Softek, an expert Distributor of IT Security, Archiving and Storage solutions are pleased to announce the UK Launch of SafeStick, a USB memory stick featuring 256bit encryption manufactured by BlockMaster.
Mike Bienvenu, Technical Director, Softek commented, "We are delighted to have been able to launch SafeStick in the UK at InfoSec 2008, and to be working with such an innovative company as BlockMaster. SafeStick is a superb solution, and what makes it even more compelling for customers, is that it can be managed using BlockMasters SafeConsole software. Lost sticks can be remotely wiped, passwords can be reset, data can be backed up, and a full audit trail of all use is provided."
"Critical data loss is on every IT Director's mind, and with a frightening 66% of all USB sticks being lost or stolen, data stored on memory sticks simply has to be encrypted - the challenge has been achieving this quickly and easily without employee re-training or disruption. SafeStick and SafeConsole together provides the simple, easy to deploy answer."
"Featuring a tamperproof, onboard encryption chip using a military strength algorithm, and without any need for additional software, SafeStick encrypts data automatically on the fly, making it totally impossible for someone to access data stored on the memory stick without the correct password." continued Bienvenu.
Commenting on Softek's appointment Daniel Östner, Head of Sales & Marketing for BlockMaster said, "We are pleased to be working with Softek. After extensive evaluation we feel that the Distribution skills that Softek posess, and their extensive UK Reseller Channel reach means they are the perfect partner to help us grow our UK business".
