Entrust Teams with Pointsec to Secure the Mobile Workforce

September 10, 2004 - (HostReview.com) - Entrust, Inc., a world-leading provider of Identity and Access Management solutions, and Pointsec Mobile Technologies www.pointsec.com), the worldwide de facto standard for mobile device security, today announced a new strategic technology, sales and marketing relationship to address the growing need for protecting data on mobile devices.

"Together with Entrust, known for leadership in the security industry, Pointsec will be empowered to take our products to broader markets and drive the evolution of our technology. This is why we have great expectations for this partnership to have a significant effect on our company's growth," said Peter Larsson, CEO of Pointsec Mobile Technologies.

Under the agreement, Entrust has added three new products based on Pointsec's award-winning technology to its Entrust Entelligence™ product portfolio.

The new products provide organizations with the ability to automatically protect data at rest on laptops, desktops, and removable media and mobile devices such as PDAs without the need to rely on users to take additional actions that might impact their productivity.

This allows organizations to more easily comply with government and industry regulations while securely enabling their mobile workforce by encrypting data both at rest as well as in transit.

According to John Girard, vice president and research director at Gartner: "The typical workstation or mobile device contains a wealth of sensitive information. If a laptop, PDA or smartphone is lost or stolen, the enterprise and user must deal with the loss and liability of timely and strategic information in addition to the cost of the device itself."

"The addition of the market-leading capabilities of Pointsec's products to the Entrust portfolio allows us to address a greater range of security issues for our customers," said Eric Skinner, Vice President, Secure Data Solutions at Entrust.

Entrust Entelligence Disk Security, Entrust Entelligence Media Security and Entrust Entelligence Mobile Security are available now. These new products are licensed, serviced, and supported worldwide by Entrust and authorized channels.
