Johns Creek, Georgia, April 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sirrus Corp. (“Sirrus” or the “Company”) (OTC PINK: SRUP), an emerging cybersecurity solutions provider, is pleased to announce the launch of Digital Deadbolt™, a proprietary hardware-based network security passkey device. The Sirrus Digital Deadbolt USB/Bluetooth enabled fob-style passkey incorporates several innovative security and design improvements intended to enhance overall network security and administration capabilities. Sirrus Corp. is currently in advanced discussions with prospective customers for implementation of the Digital Deadbolt into their security plan.
“During each login to computer systems, proven cryptographic network protocols secure important data transmitted to servers so that hackers can’t steal your credentials because they remain on your PC in the form of the secret key,” commented Sparrow Marcioni, CEO of Sirrus Corp. “Unfortunately, if the hackers compromise your PC, it’s game over because they can copy your secret key and gain access to all your sensitive data.”
“The Digital Deadbolt takes system security to the next level and keeps your secret key on a portable locked fob-like device that goes with you. Because the hardware-based network security key fob doesn’t directly connect to the internet, hackers can’t access it remotely. And since it remains with the authorized user at all times, gaining unauthorized physical access to the Digital Deadbolt device and the protected system will be exceedingly difficult. Your authentication token simply isn’t there to steal.”
The same Digital Deadbolt also authenticates users to specific PCs, leaving no opportunity to steal access credentials with keyboard loggers or by locating a password database. Disconnecting or walking away with the Digital Deadbolt (depending on USB or Bluetooth) locks the PC screen. The screen can only be unlocked when an authorized Digital Deadbolt returns/is plugged back in.
Marcioni concluded, “Gaining remote terminal access is one of the greatest areas of cybersecurity risk for hospitals and medical facilities. The Digital Deadbolt is the perfect application for our healthcare clients to address this risk by providing each of their doctors, nurse, etc. with Digital Deadbolts as a means of accessing and updating patient information or where access to other secured devices requires additional authentication. We look forward to providing this innovative extra layer of network security to our clients.”
