Unisys "stealth solution" protects mobile workers

Wednesday, September 7, 2011

Unisys Corp. has released its Unisys Stealth Solution for Secure Virtual Terminal (SSVT) product, a USB device that secures a mobile user’s data and makes it available to only authorized users.

The portable USB device is certified by the federal government and can be customized and dedicated to a user. With it, the user can boot up remotely and line to an enterprise network through a secure session. Stealth Solution for SSVT can also create a virtual and independently secure group in which members can safely share the same physical or virtual network.


The device secures data through advanced cryptography. Each virtual community is locked down with its own cryptographic key that allows the group to “go dark” on a network and function undetected to anyone who does not have access to it.

Mobile users can also add and manage more secure end-points with the device, giving them the ability to isolate data from detection and theft by hackers. With the device’s SecureParser technology created by Security First Corporation, data is cryptographically split into multiple packets when traveling through a network. When the data reaches the storage device, it’s authenticated and reassembled.

The product is geared to the financial services industry, as well as to government and enterprise teleworkers and emergency first responders. [end]
