PC Guardian and Trust Digital Announce Partnership to Market PDA Encryption
SAN RAFAEL, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 13-10-2003 --
Today, PC Guardian Technologies Inc. ("PC
Guardian") announced a partnership arrangement with Trust Digital LLC that
allows PC Guardian to sell PDASecure™, Trust Digital's encryption
solution for PDAs and other handheld devices.
Together, PDASecure and PC Guardian's Encryption Plus® software provide
easy-to-use data protection for PCs and PDAs.
PDASecure safeguards data stored on devices running the Pocket PC, Palm,
Blackberry, and Symbian operating systems. It encrypts data on these
devices using AES or other cryptographic algorithms.
PDASecure works quickly and transparently, does not reduce employee
performance, and can be centrally controlled from a server, allowing
administrators to create, push, and manage security policies to each device
while maintaining a complete audit trail.
The need to protect sensitive data on mobile devices is growing, according
to PC Guardian President Noah Groth.
"The proliferation of mobile devices presents significant new risks for our
large enterprise clients," Groth says. He cites a Gartner Inc. report that
estimates 9 out of 10 mobile enterprise devices have "insufficient power-on
protection and storage encryption to withstand casual to moderate hacker
attacks."
PDASecure may be purchased by contacting PC Guardian at 800-288-8126
(415-459-0190) or visiting http://www.pcguardiantechnologies.com.
