Flexxon adds new dimension to security storage devices with Xsign

Hardware cybersecurity and NAND storage specialist, Flexxon, has launched its latest security product, Xsign.

Xsign provides enhanced security by unlocking sensitive data reserved only for authorised personnel.

With the use of the Xsign hardware security key, organisations will be provided with a tailored software platform that syncs only with the Xsign key, thereby granting access to pre-defined users.

Beyond its function as a security key, the Xsign also operates as a traditional storage card. Key beneficiaries of the solution include industries that handle personal and sensitive data like the healthcare, finance, and government and defence sectors.

With the additional safeguard of Xsign’s advanced Digital Signature mechanism, organisations will be able to elevate their security postures through authentic identity and access protection, and heightened control systems.

Xsign was designed to deliver three key benefits, to address the data handling challenges faced by organisations today.

These include:

Reinforced Access Controls: There are increasing volumes of sensitive data being transferred and stored electronically, for example, in MRI and X-Ray machines where patient records and scans are stored and retrieved. Xsign acts as a physical key to unlock the data stored within the hosts’ system, offering a secure means of storing and retrieving data, safeguarding it from unauthorised access, accidental compromise, and data breaches.

Dual Layer Encrypted Key: To prevent the key falling into the wrong hands, the Xsign has also been designed with an encrypted key which utilises data scrambling and hash algorithms concealed in a reserved partition. Key strings can be accessed by the key manager through customised software access points to grant access to the user to set the unique key after having passed an initial password check.

Ease of Implementation: Xsign is user-friendly and easy to implement across different applications.

A dedicated tool and SDK is provided to facilitate integration, ensuring that users can leverage its security features without significant technical hurdles.
