PDA Secure prevents data stored on Palm OS and Pocket PC Powered handhelds from falling into the wrong hands

FAIRFAX, VA (January 7, 2003)… Trust Digital, the leading provider of Mobile / Wireless security software and encryption technology platform, is proud to announce that its flagship PDASecure application and Enterprise Policy Editor™, showcased at the Planet PDA conference and exposition, for the 2nd year in a row, has been honored with a “Best of Show” award in the category of Best Security Solution. PDASecure helps corporations and individuals protect the data that is stored on their handheld computers through password protection, multiple levels of data encryption and a host of administrative control features. The “Best of Show” honor from Planet PDA follows PDASecure’s numerous awards from many prestigious organizations, including being named a finalist in the “Best of Comdex” award.

“For the 2nd year in a row! It is quite an honor to have PDASecure once again recognized as the best product in one of the hottest product categories this year,” said Kevin Shahbazi, Trust Digital’s Chairman and CEO. “Organizations across myriad of industries, regard mobile and wireless computing as a way to enhance the productivity of its workforce. Trust Digital is proud that we are helping many organization through the use of our award winning technology”

One of the complex tasks associated with managing handheld devices in an enterprise is disseminating security policy changes to all workers’ devices. Trust Digital’s new PDASecure Policy Editor™ was very well received by the judges and other members of the media who sought out Trust Digital to discuss the topic of data security. PDASecure Policy Editor is designed to work in conjunction with the company’s PDASecure Enterprise™ security software that was introduced for Palm OS handheld devices late last year. With PDASecure Policy Editor installed on a server in a network, and with PDASecure Enterprise™ installed on each PDA, an organization’s security or network administrator can push security policies to every PDA device. A company will be able to use PDASecure to strengthen its data security on PDAs regardless of whether the devices are wirelessly connected to the network or are synchronized directly to the network through personal computers.

In naming PDASecure as its choice for best security solution, the judges were impressed with the applications’ ability to “lock down” data stored on a handheld, as well as the usefulness of the Policy Editor to provide centralized management of security policies and maintain a complete record of all security-related activities on the devices.

“PDA security isn't an option -- it's a necessity,” stressed the judging evaluation of PDASecure published at PlanetPDAMag.com. “Trust Digital's PDA Secure is an excellent product that will lock down your data on both Palm-based and Windows CE-based PDAs.”

“Companies and individuals alike are recognizing the importance of protecting the data that is stored on their PDAs. The portable nature of these devices increases the risk of having vital personal or corporate data falling into the wrong hands,” said Kevin Shahbazi, Trust Digital’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Our clientele have asked us for the best mobile security solution, and we are delighted to report that we have delivered an award winning product to the market”

The PDASecure™ product line from Trust Digital, protects PDAs against internal fraud and theft, sabotage, malicious hacking and helps an organization against legal exposure to the compromise of personal customer data. The PDASecure Enterprise™ and PDASecure Policy Editor™ are also designed to work with the desktop PC security product ForeverSecureÔ, also from Trust Digital, to provide a total security solution for an enterprise and the devices connected to it.
