BeCrypt turns puny USB stick into secure OS

PC security specialist BeCrypt is set to launch its answer to the problem of laptop security - a whole thin-client operating system that fits on a standard USB stick and can be carried around in place of a PC.

Trusted Client’, as it’s called, will be aimed at companies who have home workers not able to use a laptop, or that travel and log into the company network from insecure PCs outside the network.

Using an ‘operating system on a stick’ allows these types of workers to access applications and data, stored in a fully encrypted form, without losing the secure environment of a pre-configured PC, the company said.

The OS is fully bootable, low-level encrypted, and comes bundled with VPN and endpoint security to ensure the software’s integrity. Beyond that, technical details are hard to detail because the company is not due launch the product officially until the Infosecurity Europe show, being held in London later this month, and has yet to elaborate.
