Government Wireless Security Team Launches Advanced Anti-Phone Hacking App, SafeandSecureMobile

LOS ANGELES, July 8, 2011 -
Team Responsible for Creating
Specifications That Became Obama’s Secure BlackBerry
In the timeliest of situations, Michael Franco, one of the
nation’s leading experts in secure wireless communications
technology is launching his company, Safe and Secure Mobile, Inc.
with the release of a new security application
using NSA approved technology as used by government agencies.
It was his team of specialists that was responsible for actions
that resulted in creating a BlackBerry device secure enough to
allow President Obama to regain the use of his BlackBerry after he
took office in 2009. The same technology will now be made
available to millions of BlackBerry and Android smartphone users
worldwide beginning next week in the form of an inexpensive,
downloadable application. A Symbian version is slated for release
later this month and an iPhone version is slated for release by the
end of August 2011.
Franco is the former head of The National Security Agency (NSA)
Advanced Secure Communication Lab where he was responsible for
writing specifications for what became the Presidential Secure
BlackBerry. With the recent revelations about the “News of the
World” phone hacking scandal, concerns about mobile phone security
is no longer a rhetorical abstraction or only the problem of the
rich and famous. Anyone who uses a mobile device is at
risk.
The
application resides on the protected mobile device in such a way
that it is completely invisible to the user. It is not displayed in
the application list, user menus or user settings. Instead,
it resides silently in the protected device, undetectable even
against sophisticated voltage monitoring methods. The
software continuously and unobtrusively monitors all attempts to
open data ports and continuously blocks these attempts.
Quoted Michael Franco, “With relative ease, an employee of
a media company can monitor, edit, and intercept cell phone
communications. However with the
Ultimate Armor App software installed, intercepting and monitoring
of any type on the cell phone is impossible. The SSM software is
setup in such a way that it can immediately identify any
surveillance program and instantly remove the program and further
block and close the phone’s leaking data ports. The
software surpasses all known technologies due to its nature. Case
in point, the application is invisible on the phone. If the public
had known about the
solution, situations such as the Rupert Murdoch event would quite
simply never have been able to occur for it would have been
impossible to monitor the phones with the application
installed.”
The
team of experts includes scientist Frank Cole, who brings to the
company a unique depth and breadth of building and analyzing secure
communication platforms and software development. He has
served as an Adjunct Instructor for the National Cryptologic School
where he earned multiple certificates from the same institution in
areas such as Electronic Warfare/Signals Intelligence and
Cryptologic Analysis.
Cole previously served as the CEO of his own company where he
supported customers by developing Wi-Fi based communication systems
for micro-UAVs. In addition, he was the architect, inventor
and implementer of embedded systems for wireless based intrusion
detection sensors, Wireless LAN and 3G/4G technologies. He
has advised decision makers at all levels of government and the
private sector. Cole has led many technical teams in solving
the architecture development of complex wired and wireless systems
and has served as the mentor to academics and experienced
engineers.
Quoted Frank Cole, “Newer technologies, especially mobile
technology, have become as powerful as that in many desktop
computing systems. The information that they hold however is as
much or more personal and valuable to a would be hacker and
presently easier to attack. Mobiles are the big targets of tomorrow
and to a great degree, as shown in recent media, significant
targets of today. This is just the beginning because as we
transition more of our daily lives to our phones and tablets, the
higher value of a target they become. They must be protected
and that is where we come in.”
