Echoworx First to Bring an All-Encompassing Encryption Solution for Enterprise Mobile Users

TORONTO, July 25, 2011 -

mobilEncrypt
enables users to compose, send and receive encrypted messages
across all platforms and devices

As mobile security comes under increased scrutiny, href="www.echoworx.com/">Echoworx, a leading provider of
credential management and managed encryption services for complete
email and data protection, is the first in the industry to bring
end-to-end mobile encryption and credential management capabilities
that address all major devices (smartphones and tablets) and
platforms, as well as cloud applications. This summer will see the
final additions to its mobilEncrypt offering which has been
specifically designed to meet the security needs of mobile business
users.

“Mobile privacy and security may be a relatively new topic of
conversation, but it’s an important one,” says Michael Ginsberg,
CEO of Echoworx. “The challenge with mobile security however, is
that enterprises are dealing with a number of different operating
systems. As a result, they have been unable to replicate the
breadth of encryption capabilities that exist in the non-mobile
world. And until recently, the only available solutions have been
deployed on a piecemeal basis to address specific operating
systems, cloud applications or endpoint devices only.”

Interoperable with all other Echoworx encryption products,
mobilEncrypt is designed to address a complete range of mobile
platforms, including iOS (iPhone, iPad), Android and BlackBerry
devices. “We’re the first vendor that is able to do that,” says
Ginsberg. “Users can download an endpoint solution from the app
store of their choosing, or apply the Echoworx solution to secure
content delivery and storage in the cloud. Whatever the choice, our
solutions work natively within any messaging environment in
conjunction with a credential management platform, to provide
confidentiality, integrity, authentication and authorization.”

Echoworx mobilEncrypt will also complement Apple’s new release
of iOS Version 5.0 in the fall, which will allow users to issue and
use X.509 credentials with the native S/MIME support on iOS 5.0 to
send and receive encrypted messages to anyone with a valid email
address.

mobilEncrypt can easily be integrated with mobile device
management (MDM) solutions to deliver complete security for
smartphones and tablets, Ginsberg notes. “Security for mobile today
goes beyond tracking, locking and wiping devices. By combining
mobile encryption with a credential management platform, we can
help MDMs solve a problem that they can’t accomplish on their own.
With mobilEncrypt, if you want to shut down access to data, you
simply suspend the user’s credential. Then nothing of value is
accessible. What we’ve done is create a real, viable solution to a
growing problem.”
