PDAs have opened up a whole new world of business mobility and have therefore become an indispensable tool for business communication worldwide. However, these small portable devices get easily lost or stolen, along with the confidential data stored on them. In addition, plug-and-play functionality and wireless connection capabilities make them a serious security threat to company networks.
Current PDAs are not equipped against these risks, so comprehensive protective measures are imperative. Utimaco SafeGuard PDA provides ultimate security for all important mobile operating systems, such as Windows Mobile, Symbian and Palm OS.
"The software includes strong encryption algorithms not only for files on memory cards but also for internal databases such as e-mails, SMS, tasks and events," explains Chris Runte, director of Biodata. "Access to confidential data is only possible with the correct user authentication."
Utimaco SafeGuard PDA reduces support costs thanks to flexible, centrally enforceable security settings and configuration rights. IT managers can set up password guidelines, encryption and security rules for all company PDAs and enforce them throughout the entire organisation.
The software also includes a secure screen saver and support for quick and easy access to telephone calls without additional logon. Forgotten passwords can be centrally reset with Utimaco SafeGuard`s emergency recovery system.
