OAKLAND, Calif.--()--KSI (Key Source International) announced today its most amazing new line of security desktop keyboards.
The KSI-1700 series features an array of secure input options never before available in one simple keyboard design. This slim, elegant and ergonomic keyboard addresses all aspects of workstation security.
The KSI-1700 has integrated options, such as biometrics, WaveID®, HID® and contact-less smart card badge technologies. What truly makes the KSI-1700 series so incredible is SonarLocID®, this option locks and secures a users workstation by simply walking away.
“The password era is coming to end. A secure and irrefutable logon using biometrics or RFID will become the norm when we access data,” states Phil Bruno, Sr. VP of Sales & Marketing. “Leaving an open and unattended computer defeats the purpose of strong authentication, log off is as critical as the logon, the SonarLocID® completes the all important security cycle.”
The 1700 series is the sum of KSI’s 30 years of innovation and expertise. This keyboard is a seamless, integrated and state of the art piece of technology that meets the needs of today’s professional in healthcare, government, banking or any place where the need for security, workflow, durability and performance are a standard requirement.

The KSI-1700 series is compatible with security solutions from Imprivata, Microsoft/Sentillion, Indigo IdentityWare, HealthCast, CA Technologies and IBM TAM Tivoli.

The Defense Department is planning to expand the use of PKI, including adding the technology to non-person entities such as routers, switches, hubs and even PDAs and laptops, Jack says. “The devices would have a PKI that is bound and vetted so it would be recognized on a digital level,” he says.
