T3 SecurityKey helps solve identity-theft crisis

Johannesburg, 17 May 2007

Local data security solutions provider J2 Software has announced it is experiencing increased demand for the T3 SecurityKey as a result of the drastic increase in data and identity theft countrywide.

The T3 SecurityKey prevents unauthorised access to the private data on a computer or laptop.

According to J2 Software managing director John Mc Loughlin, even in the extreme case of physical theft, the users' confidential data is protected. "The T3 SecurityKey acts like an ignition key for a computer. Without the T3 SecurityKey inserted into any USB port, it is impossible to access the encrypted data on a machine."

It is becoming obvious that modern criminals are interested in the all-important information that is stored on machines. Sophisticated syndicates are selling identities on the black market, and it is far less of a risk to steal an identity than hijack a motor vehicle.

"Most people in South Africa ensure they have physical security measures to protect their assets, including burglar bars, armed response, alarm systems and CCTV. Considering that most people ensure their doors are locked when they leave their home, why don't they ensure their data is locked up when they are away from their computer equipment?"

Mc Loughlin says personal information contained on computers is worth far more money than the machine itself: "If you consider that most of a person's personal information is stored on a computer, and this typically includes online account access information, passwords, identity numbers and addresses, this is exactly the kind of information a person does not want to fall into the wrong hands."

With the T3 SecurityKey, all sensitive and confidential information is stored in encrypted data vaults that can only be accessed with the T3 SecurityKey. Furthermore, the T3 SecurityKey comes with a 12 month global theft insurance, which is a very unique offering and an absolute necessity in SA.

"The modern computer user must prevent unauthorised access to their sensitive and confidential information. This will ensure they do not become another statistic in the rising number of cases of data and identity theft worldwide. Ask yourself, how much of your personal information are you willing to lose if you do not take these information security measures?" he concludes.
