Company’s Phone Factory Provides Broader Security Support for Mobile Workforce
McLean, VA, – November 13, 2007 – Trust Digital, the leading provider of enterprise smartphone security management software, today announced that it has certified Alltel Wireless’ Motorola Q and Palm Treo 700wx through its Phone FactoryTM. The Trust Digital Phone Factory tests and certifies a common set of security features critical for IT security administrators who support a mobile workforce. The new smartphone certification allows enterprise IT to unobtrusively deliver the highest grade of security to Alltel’s business customers without altering the phones’ usability.
Smartphones certified through the Phone Factory meet the industry’s most stringent security requirements. Trust Digital’s easy-to-implement security management utilizes policy based data-at-rest encryption, device resource controls, SMS blocking, application controls, device IP firewall and IP proxy. These features provide a consistent and reliable security policy enforcement platform that is managed from a centralized console.
Introduced this summer, the Phone Factory has already certified 25 of the most popular smartphones and wireless PDAs using Palm, Windows Mobile and Symbian operating systems. These phones can also be encrypted to protect data using the company’s software.
“Our business customers require smartphones that they can secure and are still easy to use,” said Dave Maddox, director, advanced data solutions, for Alltel Wireless. “With Trust Digital’s Phone Factory certification, we can offer powerful and secure mobile computing that doesn’t take away from the customer experience.”
