Oberursel / Berlin, March 5th, 2008. Utimaco =D0 The Data Security
Company, and voice and message encryption specialist GSMK
(Gesellschaft f=9Fr Sichere Mobile Kommunikation mbH), presented the
first fully integrated PDA and smart phone security solution at
CeBIT,
the worlds largest technology trade fair in Hannover, Germany today.
The new CryptoPhone SMT Secure Mobile Terminal solution provides 360=B0
protection and encryption for data residing on the mobile device as
well as encryption of voice, SMS and e-mail messages exchanged using
the device. By combining the latest version of data encryption and
authentication software SafeGuard PDA 4.25 along with the CryptoPhone
Security Profile Manager in the PDA firmware, data on the mobile
device is protected against external attacks, theft or loss, or even
a
hard reset of the device due to SafeGuard PDA's protection
mechanisms.. At the same time, the GSMK CryptoPhone software on the
mobile device encrypts confidential phone calls as well as SMS
messages, thus protecting the user's communication against
unauthorized interception and bugging. The new solution is available
immediately from ESD Australia.
The Secure Mobile Terminal all-in-one solution combines the strengths
of the latest release of SafeGuard=AE PDA and the GSMK CryptoPhone=AE
voice and message encryption software. The features of SafeGuard PDA
4.25 include completely transparent file filter encryption that
protects data in PDA memory and removable media against unauthorized
access. Additionally, it offers an easy encrypted data exchange
between PC and PDA platforms via memory cards or e-mail with full
sup****t for Microsoft MSFP and Exchange Server. Flexible, centrally
enforceable security settings and configuration rights for end users
are also available. The latest release of SafeGuard PDA=AE also
dynamically selects country-specific emergency numbers based on the
configured time zone and a policy file. The latest release of GSMK
CryptoPhone=AE software in turn offers military-grade encryption for
telephone calls as well as text messages, featuring sup****t for self-
destructing "Eyes Only" SMS, smart folders, and a fully encrypted
storage subsystem for secure messages and keys.
"The increased use of smartphones and other advanced mobile devices
in
business as well as government has made the increasingly sensitive
information that is stored on these devices a delicate matter. Recent
spectacular eavesdropping attacks against top-level executives have
also imposingly underlined the fact that telephone calls as well as
text messages are equally at risk of being intercepted and used for
unlawful purposes", says Bj=F6rn Rupp, Managing Director of GSMK.
"SafeGuard PDA lets users be assured that the sensitive data on their
mobile devices is secure, even when the device is lost or stolen. We
are glad to take the partner****p with Utimaco to a further level with
the introduction of our Secure Mobile Terminal solution."
"Because modern-day PDAs and smartphones contain such sensitive data
that protecting them has become a business priority, SafeGuard PDA=AE
gives mobile users peace of mind when travelling with their PDAs.
With
GSMK's voice and SMS message encryption, we are pleased to extend
that
protection to all communication channels used on modern mobile
devices", says Ansgar Heinen, Head of Product Marketing at Utimaco.
