Wick Hill Shipping Imation Encrypted USB Devices

Imation Corp. distributor Wick Hill Ltd is shipping encrypted USB
devices manageable by McAfee ePO.

This follows the recent announcement that McAfee will transition its encrypted
USB device business to Imation, a McAfee partner and the McAfee encrypted USB
devices’ OEM manufacturer and supplier.

The agreement will provide new opportunities for the channel, as
Imation looks for partners to support the sale of the USB devices and
management software. Imation will sell these USB devices and the related USB
management software extension for McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) via
distribution and resellers, and will provide support for new encrypted USB
customers.

Ian Kilpatrick, chairman Wick Hill Group, commented: "We see this as a significant opportunity for
the channel and our sales and technical teams are fully trained to support this
transition."

Imation’s portfolio of data security solutions helps organisations
deliver secure mobility for their workforces. The portfolio features encrypted
USB products that are FIPS 140-2 validated up to level 3 plus devices with
CAPS, AVID and NATO certifications, and includes capacity small form
factor USB flash drives as well as encrypted external hard disk drives.

Imation offers a line of secure USB drives, manageable by
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator software. This enables organisations to enforce
security policies for encrypted USB devices. Government departments and
corporate enterprises can secure their mobile workforces’ USB data, while
maintaining high data security standards, and regulatory and compliance
requirements.

Imation is also a Sales Teaming Partner for Authentication and
Portable Computing Solutions in the McAfee
Security Innovation Alliance (SIA).

"McAfee and Imation now
provide the best solutions for customers who require secure mobile storage,
authentication, and portable computing solutions," said Ed Barry, VP
of the Security Innovation Alliance, McAfee. "With its industry leadership and decades of experience in data
protection, the Imation team has the technology, resources and expertise to
ensure that Encrypted USB customers continue to have products that meet the
highest standards, best-in-class device management solutions, and technical support."

"We are very pleased that
McAfee has entrusted our team to support its customers’ continuing needs for
secure mobile storage," said Lawrence Reusing, GM of Imation’s Mobile
Security unit. "Imation plans to
develop, enhance and advance the Encrypted USB platform to meet the needs of
McAfee customers."

Imation offers a portfolio of secure mobile
storage products and solutions, including FIPS-validated portable
storage devices, digital identity products, secure portable computing, and both
cloud-based and management software solutions.

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