WinMagic recently announced to have come into an alliance with Microsoft’s SecureIT Alliance, a group of industry partners functioning jointly to bring about security solutions for the Microsoft platform. Being a member, WinMagic will work together closely with Microsoft and other coalition members to increase platform-product interoperability and protection to profit shared customers. WinMagic looks forward to include value to the agreement by virtue of its comprehensive experience in such parts like pre-boot addition of full-disk encryption with multi-factor validation, easy running of keys/key files, and see-through fulfillment with IT security policies.

Garry McCracken, Vice President of Research & Development, WinMagic was quoted as saying,

WinMagic is proud to have joined Microsoft’s forward-thinking SecureIT alliance. Looking back over the last five to ten years, WinMagic has provided leadership and technology advances in the areas of pre-boot integration multi-factor authentication, management of keys and key files, and IT policy compliance - these are areas we expect to add value to SecureIT Alliance,’ McCracken continued. The recently-released SecureDoc v4.3’s all-new capabilities and functionalities further underscore WinMagic’s position as a full-disk encryption leader, while reinforcing our continued commitment to the Microsoft operating system.

An original sponsor of the Trusted Platform Module, WinMagic’s SecureDoc v4.3 now gives support to TPM v1.2 enduring its part in motivating novelty by giving support to Infineon TPM since the very start of 2006. Depending upon the fame of the TPM chip, SecureDoc supports in integrating an additional cover of protection by without a glitch giving support to the confirmation at pre-boot of the disk drive to the PC.
