Kaspersky unveils new mobile security platform for businesses
Kaspersky Lab, a leading security software developer, has unveiled its latest generation of security solutions that are designed to address the challenges businesses face in the mobile space. Mobile security has become a major issue for much of the business world. More people are relying on their smart phones and tablets to access corporate information, which puts such information at risk because many of these mobile devices feature lackluster security measures of their own. Kaspersky Lab is working to solve this problem.
Endpoint Security for Business provides IT administrators with new security tools
Kaspersky has built a new mobile security platform it calls Endpoint Security for Business. The platform is designed to specifically counter the threats imposed by advanced malware and cybercrime. It is also designed to be simple to use in order to dispel some of the complexity that goes into mobile security for businesses. The platform allows IT administrators to protect the information that is being accessed by smart phones and tablets, allowing this information to be accessed in a more secure manner.
Platform boasts of many innovative features
The platform allows for individual files, folders, and full-disks to be encrypted using Kaspersky’s encryption technology. It also provides a multitude of tools designed to give IT administrators control over the various security features associated with databases. These tools allow administrators to change the security protocols of protected information, making them more or less secure as necessary.
Companies still struggling with mobile security
Mobile security continues to be a problematic issue for businesses around the world. New security measures are being introduced at a rapid pace, but hackers seem to always be one step ahead. Mobile technology has proven to be a boon in many industries, but it has also opened up businesses to risks that they did not face in the past. Some of these businesses have been struggling to keep up with the ever evolving threats of the digital world. Kaspersky Lab has, fortunately, been there to help these businesses become more secure.
Fujitsu takes on the growing problem of mobile security
Mobile security has become a major issue for consumers all over the world. As more people engage in things like mobile commerce and mobile marketing, they are becoming prime targets for hackers and malicious groups bent on exploiting financial and personal information. To combat the growing concerns that are emerging in the mobile security world, new solutions are being developed and released at a rapid pace. Fujitsu Laboratories, a leading developer of IT products and services, is one of the companies responsible for a new generation of mobile security solutions.
New security platform in development
Fujitsu has announced the development of a new security platform for smart phones, called the Mobile Enterprise Application Platform. The platform is being designed specifically to protect corporate data, but may eventually become a widely used tool throughout the mobile market. One of the things that has garnered Fujitsu’s new platform a great deal of attention is the fact that it is HTML 5-based. The platform also incorporates cloud computing, creating what Fujitsu believes to be a highly secure system.
Platform provides access to HTML 5 applications
The platform connects a smart phone to a cloud-based computer server, which provides users with access to a wide variety of corporate applications, such as email, sales databases, and customer information, all as HTML 5 applications. These applications are available for all smart phones because they are based on HTML 5 rather than the programming languages exclusive to the iOS and Android platforms. The cloud network encrypts the information that users access, thereby creating an extra layer of security.
Cloud network protected by strict security features
The platform also imposes a variety of security measures on a mobile device while it is connected to the cloud network. When a device makes the connection, for example, the platform will deactivate the device’s camera and prohibit a user from taking pictures of the screen through their device’s internal services. The platform also restricts Internet access to avoid the possibility of visiting malicious websites or downloading malware. Once the connection with the cloud network is severed, however, the device becomes from off these restrictions.
