How Xyloc Works
XyLoc is the only information security solution that continues to protect the computer and the network after a user has logged on.
The XyLoc system consists of a radio transceiver “Lock” that plugs in to the USB port of the computer, and a discrete wireless radio transmitter “badge” or “Key” worn by the user. Using radio frequency to communicate, the Lock and Key determine a user’s identity and location relative to the computer.
When a user wearing a XyLoc badge approaches the workstation, the badge transmits a unique, secure code. The XyLoc Lock receives this code and passes on the processed information to the XyLoc software. If authorized, the user can access their standard Windows logon process. If the system also has XyLoc’s Application Integration enabled, or an integrated ESSO solution, XyLoc will pass the user’s stored User IDs and Passwords to his/her applications, eliminating the need to enter the credentials manually.
When the user moves outside of a pre-programmed distance from the PC, XyLoc immediately secures the computer and any open applications, restoring them as soon as the authorized user returns to the workstation.
