PGP Adds Encryption To Windows Mobile Smartphones
PGP Corp. has introduced an encryption application that lets enterprise users protect all the data they carry around in their smartphones.
PGP Mobile encrypts Windows Mobile-based data automatically, but still allows mobile data to be shared securely with other mobile and desktop users. The new crypto app works as part of the enterprise-wide PGP Encryption Platform, which helps to reduce the expense of managing multiple vendors' encryption keys, users, policies, and reporting tools, PGP said in a statement.
"The availability of PC and handheld support from a single [encryption] vendor has finally become a buying condition," said John Girard, an analyst with Gartner, in a statement. "Buyers are looking for vendors that can support platforms large and small, with a similar look and feel, as well as provide common access and audit policies."
