McAfee, 2e2 partner on mobile management

McAfee has entered into a strategic alliance with 2e2, an ICT life cycle services provider, to globally deliver McAfee Enterprise Mobility Manager (EMM) to service providers and large enterprises as a cloud-based managed service, Voice and Data reports.

This alliance will enable McAfee to deliver cloud-based access to highly scalable, customisable mobile device management and security solutions to large and small commercial customers through telcos and service providers.

Biztech2.com quotes Chris Kenworthy, senior VP at McAfee, as saying: "Threats to smartphones are becoming more common and the need to secure mobile devices has never been more important. IT security operations want to adopt new technologies and support new mobile platforms, operating systems and architectures, while maintaining corporate security and compliance. We now have a comprehensive, cloud-based managed service offering for service providers and corporate customers who can't or don't want to build out their own mobile management and security infrastructure."

McAfee EMM software combines secure mobile application management, anti-malware, strong authentication, high-availability, a scalable architecture and compliance reporting in a seamless system. It enables companies to leverage the value of mobile, by implementing extended endpoint policies and compliance management, while protecting the corporate network from growing threats from personal mobile devices.
