Flexible Data Security for Handhelds

Data Security for handheld devices poses special challenges in the corporate world today. Users need the freedom and flexibility that handheld devices provide, whilst companies and organisations still have to protect their sensitive data. Mobilise IT recommend the CREDANT Mobile Guardian solution for Handhelds and solid state disk devices. This solution bridges the gap between information security and handheld device usability, helping corporations address security policies and compliance goals without disrupting the user experience.

CREDANT products provide organisations with proven-effective solutions for endpoint data protection.

External Media Data Protection

CREDANT Mobile Guardian External Media Shield (EMS) provides unique policy-based data encryption, centralised administration and reporting for endpoint data protection, both within the network and beyond.
Enterprise users need fast, flexible data access from a variety of remote locations—airports, coffee shops, restaurants and home offices on a variety of endpoint devices:

• Laptops
• USB Sticks
• Smartphones
• External storage devices
• CD/DVD media

With External Media Shield, users can access and update external media from any computer, without compromising data protection.

Endpoint Device Encryption

When endpoint devices connect to a CREDANT-protected desktop, laptop, or smartphones for the first time, CREDANT detects the device and prompts the user to set a password for future access. Administrators can centrally define and enforce password strength via security policies. Once the password is set, CREDANT automatically provisions the client with the CREDANT External Media Shield, providing secured data encryption keys and policies to the device.

From this point forward, the device is password protected and all data added to it is automatically scanned and encrypted per policy.

External Media Shield for USB Stick Encryption

External Media Shield provides organisations the following business-critical benefits:

• Data encryption on all portable endpoint devices (i.e. USB Stick).
• Flexible workflows when accessing shielded media from protected enterprise computers, unprotected home computers or even public kiosk computers.
• Cost-effective, central administration of policies.
• Enhanced reporting to support regulatory compliance.
• Quick deployment and easy scalability.
