New Members Who Join Free IT Security Online Community by March 31st Will Be Automatically Entered in Q1 Infosec Port of Call Drawing
Infosec Island, the new online community designed especially for IT and network professionals who manage information security, risk and compliance issues, today announced its new Q1 membership drive promotion. From now until March 31st, anyone who signs up for a free Infosec Island membership will be automatically entered in the Q1 Infosec Port of Call Drawing to win one of three great prizes.
Infosec Island is the growing new online community and social network designed for the security needs of small-to-medium businesses and other organizations facing the primary and on-going challenges of security. There are lots of good infosec sources out there, but no other community offers infosec pros the unique combination that Infosec Island does:
• Managed services security platform,
• Premium security services,
• Free security tools,
• Direct communication with peers,
• Secure infosec portal, and
• Built-in social network.
Prizes for the Q1 Infosec Port of Call Drawing will include:
• The Grand Prize is a FREE core server license, including maintenance, of the Grid Data Security’s Enhanced Authentication Solution from SyferLock™.
This prize has a value of up to $10,000. (The winning member gets a single core server license for their organization. User licenses remain at regular price.) In addition, registered members of Infosec Island are eligible for an additional 10 percent off year one costs, including 10 percent off any additional core or user licenses purchased.
The system delivers complete deviceless generation of one-time passwords, providing an extremely cost effective security solution. This allows users to have a simple, more secure way to access information leveraging their existing passwords.
In addition, the solution is completely zero footprint, with no client-side software required. There’s no need to download or install any additional software.
This allows the winner’s organization to receive the same level of security from any machine that they get when they choose the optional GridOne™ login on Infosec Island.
• Second Prize – The member winning second prize will receive two myKryptofon security software products from I.D. Rank Security, valued at $690.
myKryptofon is the only multi-platform communications system available that secures voice calls, conference calls, chat, and file transfers with unique authentication and encryption utilizing symmetric keys.
It provides each user with the ability to generate keys for their use. One installs on a Windows Mobile phone, such as HTC or O2, and the other installs on a desktop or lap top Windows PC.
Together they enable a branch office site, for example, to securely communicate with a field operative via a user-friendly user interface that ensures all calls are encrypted and private based on AES 256-bit, self-generated encryption keys. No third party is required to create or disseminate the encryption keys.
• Third Prize – Two third prize winners will receive an EncryptStick™ software application download from Onix International Inc.
Onix is the worldwide distributor of EncryptStick, powered by the world’s strongest encryption algorithm 512 bit Polymorphic Ciphers developed by PMC. EncryptStick utilizes 512-bit Polymorphic Encryption and is the most advanced portable security application on the market.
EncryptStick allows users to turn any serial numbered USB flash drive into an encrypted vault. It provides the ability to create unlimited invisible encrypted vaults (folders) on an unlimited number of laptops, PCs, CDs, DVDs or removable hard drives.
EncryptStick provides protection from identity theft, viruses, hackers and phishers. The application runs from the USB flash drive—not from the host PC.
The Q1 drawing winners will be announced in April. Click here to join Infosec Island. It’s free, and you’ll be automatically entered in the drawing. Winners of the Q4 2009 Port of Call Drawing were announced in the Infosec Island January newsletter.
