Mobile security: Entrust ties up with MobileIron

DALLAS, USA: Entrust, Inc., a leading player securing online identities and information, has announced an evolution in the company's relationship with MobileIron, an innovator in enterprise management and security for mobile devices and apps.

To better address the growing mobility needs of customers, the two companies will be introducing a new integrated solution that is planned for later this year and will be designed to enable Entrust on-premise and cloud customers to manage certificates for mobile devices and applications,  a press release said.

This solution will enable Entrust PKI, Managed Service and IdentityGuard customers to leverage access for managing and utilizing their mobile device as an authenticator to mobile, web and enterprise applications. This capability will be designed to empower customers to identify devices accessing their enterprise and manage the identity of those users.

"As a result of the mobility revolution and the move toward bring your own device (BYOD), Entrust has been at the forefront of authenticating these additional access points to enable a secure information network for companies," said Entrust President and CEO Bill Conner. "We are pleased to develop our work with MobileIron, as these integrated offerings will enhance the value we bring to our customers by securing corporate data through a centralized management solution and allowing the flexibility of mobile access."
