Wave Systems Corp. announced Wednesday that it will demonstrate a pre-production data theft protection and remote, out-of-band management solution for platforms with Intel vPro technology for enterprise and small to-mid-sized businesses (SMB).

Wave will showcase pre-production management and data protection capabilities for platforms with Intel Anti-Theft Technology, which is advanced, integrated hardware-based security technology, using Wave EMBASSY Remote Administration Server (ERAS) and its client EMBASSY Trusted Drive Manager (TDM). Demonstrations will take place at Wave's kiosk in the Pro Zone.

Wave of Lee, Massachusetts provides software to help solve critical enterprise PC security challenges such as strong authentication, data protection, network access control and the management of these enterprise functions.

Wave provides hardware-based PC security and a founding member of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG), a consortium of nearly 140 PC industry leaders that forged open standards for hardware security. Wave's EMBASSY line of client- and server-side software leverages and manages the security functions of the TCG's industry standard hardware security chip, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). TPMs are included on large number of PCs and are standard equipment on many enterprise-class PCs currently shipping. Using TPMs and Wave software, enterprises can substantially and cost-effectively strengthen their current security solutions. "Wave Systems is pleased to be working with companies like Intel in demonstrating powerful and flexible solutions to protect against data theft in a far more secure fashion," said Steven Sprague, president and CEO of Wave Systems. "By combining upcoming Intel vPro Technology platforms with ERAS, we plan to deliver what companies have been looking for in a PC to enable maximum security coupled with optimal manageability, which all begins at the hardware-based level."

Wave demonstrations in the Pro Zone will also showcase Intel Advanced Management Technology (AMT), which allows for out-of-band management and upcoming Intel Anti-Theft Technology, which provides data protection working seamlessly together with the Wave EMBASSY suite of software.

"Taking advantage of upcoming capabilities of Intel vPro technology will enable Wave to deliver more secure hardware-based data protection solutions for large and small businesses alike," said Tom Quillin, director, Intel Client Ecosystem Enabling.

In addition to its presence in the Intel Pro Zone, Wave Systems will also have its ERAS technology on display for customers seeking to learn more about full disk encryption and data at rest security based on hardware FDE solutions from multiple vendors in various client and server-managed environments. These additional demonstrations will be held in a Wave meeting room on the third floor of Moscone Center West, August 19-21.
