Sybase’s iAnywhere announced the addition of Afaria Security Manager for Windows to Afaria, iAnywhere’s management and security solution. iAnywhere has chosen to partner with BeCrypt, the UK’s leading encryption security company, to provide the full-disk solution necessary to protect mobile PCs running Windows operating systems. BeCrypt technology goes beyond file-based encryption that only protects specific data files–full-disk encryption ensures that all data on the computer is secured, and protects the machine from well-known attacks and publicly available tools designed to gain access to the machine in the absence of a user password. BeCrypt technology used in Afaria Security Manager for Windows is based on the Advanced Encryption Systems algorithms with 128-bit keys and uses Secure Hashing Algorithms SHA-256 to protect user passwords.
