Echoworx Previews Mobile Encryption Platform at RSA Conference

First to Deliver Email Encryption Across Multiple Platforms; Centralizes Encryption Management for iPhone, BlackBerry and Android
SAN FRANCISCO, February 14, 2011 - (RSA Conference) — Echoworx Corporation, (www.echoworx.com) the leading
provider of managed encryption services for complete enterprise email and
data protection, will preview its new Mobile Encryption Platform at the RSA
Conference taking place this week.
The Mobile Encryption Platform, which will be available to the Echoworx
partner channel in mid-March 2011, is the first enterprise encryption
platform designed specifically for private mobile communications. As a
cloud-based solution, it enables integration with all major mobile operating
systems including iOS, Android and BlackBerry OS with native apps. Incoming
and outgoing communications are automatically encrypted at the source without
the need for user intervention.
"The Mobile Encryption Platform is the only global solution that enables
encryption for all the major mobile device platforms," says Michael Ginsberg,
President and CEO of Echoworx. "As it embraces a cloud-based model, data in
motion or in use by mobile users is always encrypted and safe. This promises
to deliver huge benefits for today's enterprises; and represents a
significant sales opportunity for our partners."
According to Ginsberg, the ubiquitous use of mobile devices in the
enterprise translates into less control and increased risk. "IT managers
simply can't control security on unprotected wi-fi networks. In addition,
escalating iPhone and Android usage by mobile workers means that every phone
is potentially a business device and therefore a danger to security. Business
leaders realize that the old way of managing encryption on a
platform-by-platform basis simply won't work. What we offer is a simple yet
highly secure strategy that keeps sensitive information off devices by moving
data to the cloud and securing it at its source where it can't be reached by
unauthorized users."
As an addition to the Echoworx suite of existing email encryption
offerings, the Mobile Encryption Platform will provide partners with an
unprecedented array of security capabilities to offer their customers. "If
you just look at the demand we're getting for mobile encryption alone, the
numbers are staggering," Ginsberg says. "Mobile encryption comes up in just
about every conversation we have. I had a request for 800 seats recently from
a business that had a large contingent of Android users. It's clear that
today's enterprises want and need this kind of protection for their mobile
communications; and Echoworx is looking forward to working with our partners
to support those customers."
