Pointsec unveils security solution for Nokia Eseries

MUMBAI: Pointsec Mobile Technologies, mobile enterprise security solution provider, today unveiled a new version of its security solution for Symbian 3.0 S60 edition, offering strong data protection and access control for business users with Nokia Eseries handsets based on the S60 platform.

Supported models include the Nokia E50, E60, E61, E62 and E70. This is the first solution for protecting data stored on S60 devices using real-time encryption, a Pointsec statement said.

Using Pointsec for Symbian 3.0 S60 edition, sensitive information is automatically encrypted and decrypted on the fly, with no user interaction required. This major version release of Pointsec for Symbian is Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) compliant and comes with added support for the Intellisync Device Management solution from Nokia.

In addition, Pointsec offers tools for centralized administration of encryption. Users who accidentally lock their devices can regain access by calling their helpdesk and completing the secure remote help challenge/response procedure with the Pointsec webRH product.

“Mobile service providers and organizations with large mobile workforces are looking for a unified approach to managing wireless clients, including device security, connectivity and mission-critical mobile applications,” said Peter Larsson, CEO, Pointsec Mobile Technologies.

“The Open Mobile Alliance provides a solid, future-proof framework to meet this challenge, and Pointsec is committed to supporting the Alliance’s efforts to make enterprise-wide mobile solutions more manageable,” he added.

Pointsec for Symbian 3.0 S60 edition provides protection for all kinds of information, including SMS and E-mail messages, calendar, Microsoft word or powerpoint files, and data on removable media. It supports central management using Pointsec profiles. Pointsec profiles enable IT and security management to create, change and apply the organization’s security policies on all mobile users.
