New functionality supports secure wireless PDAs and latest Windows Mobile release for enterprise smartphones

CTIA WIRELESS I.T. & ENTERTAINMENT®, SAN FRANSCISCO, CA – October 23, 2007 – Trust Digital, the leading provider of enterprise smartphone security management software, today announced support of smartphones using the recently released Windows Mobile® 6 operating system and enhanced support of wireless PDAs.

Trust Digital’s award-winning smartphone security software supports the most popular advanced mobile operating systems, now including Windows Mobile 6, by providing an easy way to secure, manage, and assist a distributed workforce. Security features offered in the Trust Digital mobility management solution include data protection, endpoint security, network access control (NAC), compliance reporting, policy management, device management, help desk capabilities, self-service portal for users and remote diagnostic capabilities.

As more and more enterprise IT managers are required to support a mobile workforce with heterogeneous devices --- utilizing a variety of operating systems such as Windows Mobile 6, Windows Mobile 5, Palm and others --- the need for a consistent security management platform is essential across all operating systems and a variety of device manufacturers. With Trust Digital support for Windows Mobile 6, mobile users can still select the ‘cool’ new phone without compromising security compliance.

In addition to the support of Windows Mobile 6, Trust Digital also announced the enhanced support of wireless PDAs, those devices without phone capabilities. These devices are gaining renewed importance in sectors such as healthcare, where federal regulations govern how information is used and shared, making mobile device management and security critical. Until now, the lack of a useable centralized security and management solution has prevented wider deployment of wireless PDAs and hampered the spread of electronic medical records. With Trust Digital, the IT team can easily support doctors using smartphones along with nurses and technicians using PDAs who are capturing job related information such as a patient’s medical records, symptoms, and healthcare trial results.

Trust Digital worked closely with its healthcare customers and partners to create the industry’s first secure wireless PDA solution to provide over-the-air (OTA) advanced provisioning, compliance and reporting functionality in a central management console. In the past, implementing centralized management for PDAs posed a significant challenge because these devices were often disconnected from the network. Healthcare organizations can now leverage Trust Digital’s OTA and data protection capabilities to simplify the administration and support of homecare healthcare and clinical drug trials.

COMMENTARY

“Trust Digital’s Smartphone and PDA Security software provides centrally managed mobile security solutions that let workers retain the productivity and overall experience they expect from their advanced devices,” said Dan Dearing, vice president of product management and marketing, Trust Digital. “Healthcare is a great example of how IT can use a single system to secure and manage their wireless PDAs and smartphones, enabling them to efficiently support new initiatives such as homecare healthcare and electronic patient records.”
