IBM updates PC security software

News.com | April 15, 2003 2:35 PM PDT

IBM on Tuesday announced version 5.1 of its Client Security Software, which, in conjunction with a security chip, helps protect passwords and other data inside PCs. The new version of the software includes a roaming feature that lets a single user move from one PC to another without losing his or her credentials. The feature can be useful in areas such as health care where a single doctor may input data from a variety of desktops. The software will be available for download from IBM's Web site in May. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he covers hardware, research and development, start-ups and the tech industry overseas. He has worked as an attorney, travel writer and sidewalk hawker for a time share resort, among other occupations.
