Echoworx Previews Mobile Encryption Platform at RSA Conference
First to Deliver Email Encryption Across Multiple Platforms; Centralizes Encryption Management for iPhone, BlackBerry and Android
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- (RSA Conference) -- Echoworx Corporation, (http://www.echoworx.com) the leading provider of managed encryption services for complete enterprise email and data protection, will preview its new Mobile Encryption Platform at the RSA Conference taking place this week.
The Mobile Encryption Platform, which will be available to the Echoworx partner channel in mid-March 2011, is the first enterprise encryption platform designed specifically for private mobile communications. As a cloud-based solution, it enables integration with all major mobile operating systems including iOS, Android and BlackBerry OS with native apps. Incoming and outgoing communications are automatically encrypted at the source without the need for user intervention.
"The Mobile Encryption Platform is the only global solution that enables encryption for all the major mobile device platforms," says Michael Ginsberg, President and CEO of Echoworx. "As it embraces a cloud-based model, data in motion or in use by mobile users is always encrypted and safe. This promises to deliver huge benefits for today's enterprises; and represents a significant sales opportunity for our partners."
According to Ginsberg, the ubiquitous use of mobile devices in the enterprise translates into less control and increased risk. "IT managers simply can't control security on unprotected wi-fi networks. In addition, escalating iPhone and Android usage by mobile workers means that every phone is potentially a business device and therefore a danger to security. Business leaders realize that the old way of managing encryption on a platform-by-platform basis simply won't work. What we offer is a simple yet highly secure strategy that keeps sensitive information off devices by moving data to the cloud and securing it at its source where it can't be reached by unauthorized users."
As an addition to the Echoworx suite of existing email encryption offerings, the Mobile Encryption Platform will provide partners with an unprecedented array of security capabilities to offer their customers. "If you just look at the demand we're getting for mobile encryption alone, the numbers are staggering," Ginsberg says. "Mobile encryption comes up in just about every conversation we have. I had a request for 800 seats recently from a business that had a large contingent of Android users. It's clear that today's enterprises want and need this kind of protection for their mobile communications; and Echoworx is looking forward to working with our partners to support those customers."
